The Science Fiction Book Club (SFBC) was a book club started by Doubleday Publishing in 1953. The Club originally offered one selection per month. This practice continued until July, 1969, when a second selection was offered.

In the late 1960s, the SFBC began publishing hardcover editions of paperback originals.

For most of its existence, it was edited by Ellen Asher who was one of the more influential (if unsung) editors in the field.

This is a club page. Please extend it by adding information about when and where the club met, when and by whom it was founded, how long it was active, notable accomplishments, well-known members, clubzines, any conventions it ran, external links to the club's website, other club pages, etc.

When there's a floreat (Fl.), this indicates the time or times for which we have found evidence that the club existed. This is probably not going to represent the club's full lifetime, so please update it if you can!
