Give a Year of Literary Joy with a Membership to the NYRB Classics Book Club With a one-year subscription to the NYRB Classics Book Club (for yourself or as a gift to someone else) we'll send YOU Alfred Hayes's My Face for the World to See FREE. (More about your free book below.) And, we'll send you or your gift recipient a classic each month for one year or six months. Each month the editors will select one book from our newest titles and that book will be in your hands before it is reviewed and before it is available in bookshops. A subscription to the classics book club ensures a monthly literary surprise and extends the spirit of giving far beyond the holiday season. Michael Dirda in The Washington Post described the NYRB Classics series as "amazingly fine in its choice of titles and in the design of the books." The most inexpensive way to own these classics is through our book club; a one-year subscription for $150 or a six-month subscription for $85, including all shipping charges (US only; additional rates apply to international orders). Order for yourself Order as a gift We'll start the gift membership with our January 2014 selection, The Human Comedy, a new translation of stories by Honoré de Balzac, edited and introduced by Peter Brooks. We'll send My Face for the World to See free to you, along with a holiday card for you to mail to your recipient announcing the gift. Nelson Algren called this book "The most vivid picture of Hollywood since Nathanael West's Day of the Locust." And the TLS wrote: "We could call Hayes, [like John Cheever and Richard Yates], a well-bred nonconformist and his social criticism now seems all the more corrosive for being so controlled."
