Don't get me wrong, I enjoy EP books have just underbut realize what you are getting when something doesn't look "up to par. Fortunately, this is not the vast majority of the books they offer, so I've been a pretty happy customer.

Even now I'm ok with the situation of the Ulysses text. Called EP today to return the book and they said they will send a return label. I also always order books from EP payment due. That way I am not out any money until I'm satisfied with the book.

Oct 9,2: I am missing several titles in this series. Called EP recently and was told the series is discontinued. Seems the only book-a-month series left where you get a list of books in advance is the Great Books series formerly Greatest Books. Kind of sad, I liked getting books in a series, but I wanted to know what I would get ahead of time before committing.

Oct 9,1: The glory days of great series from EP may be over now. I am glad I was there to participate when there were so many varied series being offered. I still pick and choose from the yearly Readers Choice offerings, and am satisified with these. This may just be the result of a decline in book readers over the past few decades.

Fewer people subscribing to books may have made the model financially unsustainable. Who know, but I lament the change. This has coincided with changes in my other beloved book publisher -- the Folio Society. Both publishers seem to have given up on subscribers -- readers and customers who commit to buying a certain number of books, or series of books in the future.

Now both just offer whatever they have and hope that there is enough appeal to entice folks to buy the books post publication. Subsequently, my generous purchases of new books from these two publishing houses has significantly declined.
