BookBrowse has surveyed readers and book clubbers for more than 15 years. Over this time we have seen many relatively slow shifts including the growth in book clubs themselves, how people buy books and the formats that they read in.
However, 2020 has been different-for all of us; so many aspects of our lives have been impacted by recent events. So, in October 2020 we surveyed 3,400 people currently in a book club to find out how their book groups have been responding and adapting. In order to make this information available to as wide an audience as possible, we have priced this print version at cost for anyone who prefers to read in print, and for libraries wishing to place it in their reference section (LCCN: 2020923426).
