Politics & Prose Membership Program

Politics & Prose Membership

Why shop with us and not a chain store or an online competitor?
We are part of your community. Not only can you meet a friend for an author talk or to have coffee at the store, but we pay taxes to the District of Columbia to support city services. We contribute our time and our money with donations of books and resources to many educational and cultural institutions in the metropolitan area. Your purchase goes much farther when you shop locally, and we thank you for continuing to do so.

Why does the store promote the member program? Membership means loyalty to Politics and Prose. We encourage you to try us first. We offer discounts as benefits. Our hope is that our calendars remind you to buy your graduation present, your Father’s Day present, your daughter’s birthday present from us, as well as encourage you to attend our excellent author presentations.

For $25 a year, $45 for two years, or $100 for five years, members receive:

Our Monthly Events Calendar mailed to you 10 times a year

Our weekly email updates with book reviews and calendar of events

20% off all books mentioned in the Events Calendar for that month

Additional monthly promotional discounts on selected sections of the store, such as: audiobooks, travel literature, gardening, etc.

Storewide discounts during four annual weekend-long Member Sales

The P&P membership program helps the store by maintaining a loyal customer base on whom we can depend. The P&P membership program helps you by allowing you to shop at your favorite bookstore and save money on the books that you want to buy. 

Do you know someone who loves reading? A Politics and Prose membership makes a great gift.

You may enroll online by clicking the links at the top of the page, or a printable form is provided here which you may mail or bring with you to the store.

(Please note that Politics & Prose often provides books for sale at author events sponsored by other groups; however, we are not able to extend our member discounts on those occasions.)
