[CLClist] Grey House Preview books

[lyonsb at wilton.k12.ct.us]

I know Hali requested replies offlist, but I think this is important  
enough to send out to all.  I have received many calls from Grey  
House, and I always say no thanks.  This fall I received a reference  
book and a letter thanking me for my interest (I had none).  My aide  
called them to say we were not interested, and were sending the book  
back, which we did.  We have since received many harrassing phone  
calls requesting payment, and just this week I received a call, and my  
principal received a letter, from a collection agency!  I am furious,  
and finally reached the sales person at Grey House who promised to  
take care of the credit agency (she confirmed that we had indeed sent  
the book back).  I never want to hear from Grey House Publishing  
again.  -Barb Lyons
