The EditorsJanuary 30, 2015

Editor's note: The Catholic Book Club has been around for almost a century in different forms. It was originally conceived as a subscription service—much like Reader's Digest or (for later generations) the Columbia Music Club—that mailed subscribers a monthly selection. This model was in place from 1928 to 2003.

As direct-mail subscription methods for literature fell out of fashion with the rise of digital media and changes in American reading habits at the turn of the century, the Catholic Book Club transitioned after 2003 to more of a contemporary book club model, where a regular selection (now four times a year) is made by a team of America editors and contributors, and CBC members can discuss the book on our Facebook page

Our goal has always been to provide America readers with additional literary resources and to come together around our shared enjoyment of and appreciation for fine works of literature. 

Below are the selections of the subscription service from 1928 through 2003.
