The Left Book Club was a publishing group that exerted a strong left-wing influence in Great Britain from 1936 to 1948. Pioneered by Victor Gollancz, it offered a monthly book choice, for sale to members only, as well as a newsletter that acquired the status of a major political magazine. It also held an annual rally. Membership peaked at 57,000, but after the Soviet-Nazi non-aggression pact of 1939, it disowned its large Communist element, and subsequent years of paper-rationing, during and after the war, led to further decline. It ceased publishing in 1948.

  • Der Left Book Club (LBC, Buchklub der Linken) war eine Mitte 1936 gegründete britische Buchgemeinschaft, deren Bemühungen um Vermittlung von Kenntnissen, nützlich im Kampf für einen Weltfrieden und gegen Faschismus, sich sinnbildlich in John Stacheys Buchtitel Why You Should Be a Socialist (Weshalb Sie ein Sozialist sein sollten) ausdrückten. Die mit dem unerwartet starken Verkauf von Büchern einhergehende Entstehung von Diskussionsrunden ließ den LBC in kurzer Zeit zur größten britischen, die Bildung einer Volksfront anstrebenden politischen Bewegung werden, um noch schneller mit dem Hitler-Stalin-Pakt in relative Bedeutungslosigkeit zurückzufallen und dort bis zur Auflösung 1948 zu verharren.

  • 좌파 북클럽(The Left Book Club)은 1930년대 후반과 40년대 영국의 주요 좌익 단체로, 1936년에 스태포드 크립스와 빅토르 골란츠, 이블린 존 스트레이치가 영국의 좌파들에게 교육과 새바람을 넣어주기 위해 설립한 단체이다. "반파시즘과 세계평화를 위한 투쟁을 지원"하는 것을 목표로 한다. 2500명을 모으면 손익분기를 넘긴다고 생각하며 만들었는데 첫해말에 4만명, 39년까지 5.7만명의 회원을 유치했다. 매월 골란츠와 그의 위원회(해럴드 래스키 & 존 스트레이치)는 책을 선정하여 회원들에게 보내주었는데 그 회원들의 상당수는 전국에 산재한 1500여개의 좌파 토론그룹에 속해있었다. 책 저자 목록에는 G. D. H. 콜, 앙드레 말로, 캐서린 버드킨, 클레멘트 애틀리, 조지 오웰, 아서 쾨슬러, 존 스트레이치, 클리퍼드 오데츠, 에드가 스노, 엘렌 윌킨슨, , 레옹 블룸, J.B.S. 할데인, 스티븐 스펜더 등이 포함되어 있었다. 책 이외에도 좌파 북클럽은 월간 뉴스레터를 만들었는데 시작은 소박한 북클럽 뉴스였지만 점차 커져서 레프트 뉴스라는 국제정치와 사회이슈를 다루는 잡지가 되었다.
