I was a member for a while.
The good: The volumes they sell are nicely bound and are collectable, many with hard slip in dust covers. When you become a member, they usually have a pretty nice introductory offer.
The bad: You can spend a lot of money on these books. They have very small offerings each year, and what I have found, most of their offerings are not the typical "classics" that you would look for. Many were written around the late 1800's and early 1900's. The books they offer might be a little more "known" in the UK, but for me they offered little that I was interested in.
I do some used folio society books that I find on eBay...you can usually pick them up for 1/4 the cost.
I would browse some of the offerings they had in the years past and see if they consistently put out books you would be interested in. Good luck!
