I agree, they have also try to sell my firm books in areas that the firm
does not practice in and never will. Also they have tried to sell me the CD

PS why do the attempt to sell something that they do not have slip sheets
for advertisment flyers with the product information, it cost them more by
sending the books and the cost for returing the book as oppose to a single
piece of paper.
