A while back, (in another life) as being part of a publishing group and responsible for editorial content of a prestigious journal, I had asked a few publishers for specific books to review. Soon, I ended up with boxes of material (one publisher did literally sent every book he/she had published in the past ten years). It was a nightmare! And very few were in the topics I had requested. I reviewed a few as I read them. Than the publishers starts writing back about not "seeing" the reviews of their books. Finally, I had to mail back all the books, and asking that if they were not able to send books specific to the topics in question to not sent anything, and please, only new and/or forthcoming publications. To my surprise, the books kept coming and coming. Being a book lover, I could not just throw them away. By this time, the local library most likely is preparing a wing dedicated to me and my "anonymous" book contribution. :) Cheers, Mr. Muddle Hi,
