Membership Guidelines & Comment Policy

To become a member of this blog and simultaneously of The Old Books Club (TOBC), all that is required is a love of old books. It’s pretty much as simple as that. If like to read, read about, discuss, or collect old books—you’re welcome here!

All we ask is that when you’re commenting, please be respectful and polite. That’s it, and that is not too hard to ask of anyone. Common politeness is to be the rule here.

At least monthly, we will be publishing a posts about a specific books in our own personal library collections of old books and/or ones we've come across or enjoy but not own. We will try to include in these posts:
  • Picture(s) of the book; and perhaps a neat illustration or two from the inside.
  • A brief review/summary of why we liked the book.
  • Some additional information about the book, such as the edition, make, or publisher of the volume.
  • And any links that talk about that particular book that are neat or helpful
Additionally, in between these weekly posts, if you have any suggestions or recommendations for old books to be featured here, please email us at oldbookers@gmail.com. Tell us a little about the book (where you got it, why you like it, etc.) and send a picture of it too if you can.

All you book-lovers are encouraged to comment! Tell us if you have a copy of the book too, what you loved or didn't love about it, and where to find it (if you know of any places.) Please refrain from language, rage, griping, or offensive opinions. We're here to share our love of old books, not vent.


Also...if you'd like to become a regular writer, that's also welcome and quite possible.
Send us an email at our address (oldbookers@gmail.com) with these things:

  • your name, or net name (psuedonym)
  • your blog or website's address (if you already have one) where you publish

  • a few sentences to answer why you would like to contribute
