WHAT ARE SUBSCRIBERS SAYING?
I’m really pleased at having made the decision to become a Founding Member of the SciManDan Book Club. I’m always proud to support a creator I trust and love, and it’s even more meaningful when said creator is a leading voice in bringing knowledge and truth to the public.
With the SciManDan Book Club, I’m able to support a cause I believe in and further expand my knowledge regarding topics I care about.
The extras goodies included in the box are a lovely bonus, and I can’t wait to see what future boxes are packing. Thanks, Dan

I don't usually do book clubs, but the themes and community of this one seemed like they'd be very special, and the first offering has exceeded expectations! An excellent book choice, fun extras in the box, and well packaged for us overseas recipients.
There are great, thoughtful discussions among the club members, and lots of flexibility about how to join in, so those who are reading quickly can dive in chapter by chapter without overwhelming those who are reading more slowly or have less time.
I'm enjoying this, and looking forward to the next book!

So far I've really enjoyed both the book and the community discussions. I love that the community itself consists of all sorts of interesting folk from diverse backgrounds coming together to learn and discuss science.
And the goodies that came with the book were fun too! I look forward to having a little SciManDan library! The Book Club is a wonderfully refreshing platform that I hope continues for a long time.
Thanks for having & implementing such a great idea!

Why I Started This Book Club
I’ve always loved science books. They’re where my interest in science really began. But I realised there wasn’t a single subscription box out there dedicated to proper science writing. So I decided to create one.
No pseudoscience, no nonsense. Just brilliantly written, engaging science books delivered to your door.
