Produktbeschreibung

The Richard & Judy Book Club Reader is the first book to consider the impact of the televised book club on reading practices and the publishing and promotion of books in the UK, in comparison with other reading groups, including Oprah's Book Club and online reading communities. The club, the books and their readers are considered from the perspectives of literary, cultural and media studies in this compelling collection.
