Book Club editions are normally low cost, low quality editions. These are for folks who just want to read the book and throw it away.
For serious collectors, Book Club editions are worthless.

Book club editions are printed by the club, perhaps differing in size, print type and quality of binding and paper. The book clubs do that so they can sell them at lower prices than the publishers editions. The book clubs pay the publishers for this right.

They have the same text and quality. The only difference is a book club edition has suggested discussion topics and questions to facilitate book club meetings.

Actually, its just the same book. Just the same story, anyway.
The difference (in some cases) is a book club edition has better quality

they also sometimes have notes and talking points for people to cover when they meet up to discuss the book
