story of Britain’s first celebrity book club and the judges who changed how we read.</span></p>
<p class="elementToProof" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; background-color: white; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(36, 36, 36);">For forty years between 1929-1969, the Book Society chose from the best of world literature to mail out one book a month – fiction, history, travel, or biography – to subscribers
in over thirty countries. The judges established what a good ‘book club book’ looked like: well-written, entertaining, informative; worth investing your time and money in, not too highbrow nor obscure. Making book-buying easier, they started a revolution.
And the legacy of their taste is still with us on bookshelves today.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(36, 36, 36);">Hugh Walpole, J. B. Priestley, Sylvia Lynd, Cecil Day-Lewis, and Edmund Blunden were the literary influencers of their day; household names whose personal lives, affairs,
and politics informed their recommendations, mixing the personal and professional; social history with the domestic; love, disappointment, and war. They made global bestsellers with books that saw readers through Empire and the growth of fascism and antisemitism,
the Great Depression, Spanish Civil War, and World War Two.</span></p>
