I am surprised SFBC lasted this long.  I have not ordered a book from it
since the early 1970s.  I think that “Dune” was the last book I bought
from it.
 

Add me to the list of those who thought SFBC was long since defunct.  I
KNOW it ceased operations at least once many years ago as I got the
notice telling me it was going out of business.  I didn't cancel my
membership, they just stopped operating.  Someone must have bought the
rights and such and started a successor company.

It was still going when I parted ways with it in the summer
of 2014.

The _Canadian_ SFBC had gone under by then and I think there was
a UK one as well.

I though they should create a North American version of Gollancz's
SF Gateway but I don't think anyone higher up thought that was a
good idea.
