Friday Mailbag
Dear Korrektiv,
I'm a little frustrated by your call forwarding system and I'm wondering if there is an actual human being at the Spokane headquarters who can help me. In June, I responded to your Summer Reading Klub offer of a free book (paying only postage and handling) if I joined the klub with the understanding that I would receive one book per week for ten weeks, a book that I could keep (at low, low klub prices) or return at no charge.
Well, my problems began with the "free" book, STAGES ON LIFE'S WAY, for which the postage and handling was $41.00. I then received an invoice for my first week's book, INTRODUCTION TO PHILOSOPHY by Jacques Maritain, for $55.00 without having even received the book! Then I proceeded to check the title on Amazon and discover that the book is out of print.
I have since received an invoice every week without receiving a single book since STAGES ON LIFE'S WAY. Of course, I havn't paid any of the invoices and now I'm getting harassed by a collection agency.
That's not all.
Two weeks ago, my free mammal finally arrives, but sufficated. So, I program the computer to flood Korrektiv with emails and consequently receive a visit--at my home--from someone who claims to represent your company--a tall, heavy-set man with grey hair-- who apologizes profusely for the hamster, hands me a used copy of SHANE, and then drinks all my beer and masturbates in my shower. THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU WAS CALLED!!! and I obtained a phone number for the Attorney General's Office.
I just want my books. I don't like conflict, so you can imagine that I've been very, very upset.
Please contact me as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Bill Fairly

My mammal arrived in pretty good shape. I've been enjoying taking it for walks.
My experience has been uniformly positive. KRSK is a valuable resource for anyone looking to get ahead and achieve success.
It's fantastic, man, fucking fantastic!
A snipefish is not a mammal. I'd also like a refund.
How do I cancel my subscription?
The commitment to this project shown by the Eisenbergs and the Feinsteins is truly exceptional.
What sort of ship is this where Scrubby, the attentive steward, is the only crew member ever to be seen?
The idealist side to me would like to see elk and bison roaming the prairie once again within an hour of Spokane.
Get the picture? Life here isn't fair. People have learnt to live by their wits to survive. And if this doesn't jive with a Westerner's code of etiquette, well, too bad! And the best way to teach this is with alot of patience and alot of smiles. Gripers and whiners need not apply.
