The SFBC is a scam. You get sub-quality books that are smaller than the
same book you would get at the bookstore. Popular books already have a
10-20% sale price at B&N or Amazon when they first come out. It is also
an evil opt-out system where you have to opt-out each month for every
single promotional book they present that you don't want. Just buy the
book at B&N when it first comes out, and you'll save the same and get a
much higher quality book.
