I didn't quite realize what this was when I requested it from the library...there's a how-to book for starting a club, including discussion questions, etiquette, how often to meet, and much more. There are postcards to send to friends, inviting them to join the book club, as well as book marks, handouts, calendars, handbook, theme cards, and fiction and nonfiction cards asking scintillating questions such as "Would you read another book by this author? Why or why not?" Some of the cards are handy--they include "discussion starters" tailored to certain American Girl books and themes, as well as activities.

Literally, book club hosts would have to do no planning with this kit. Which, I am sure, is the point.

How do I get a job making these? I'd be so good at it.
