Free Book From BASS

Did anyone else get a free book from BASS this week? I did, kinda.

It's called "Advanced Bass Strategies" or something along those lines.

I question the marketing however. The deal is that if I want to keep it I
must send $9 to cover shipping & get other bassin books in the future.
Frankly, I have enough bassin books.

If I don't want to subscribe to future books however, I'm supposed to return
the free book they sent me. If I'm not mistaken isn't it the law that
states if I didn't order it & they sent it to me that I can keep it?

I don't need extra work at this juncture of my life, I have enough right
now. Anyone know the legalities of this? I also noted that the book wasn't
sent to me directly from BASS (AL),but from some company up North (like MI
maybe).

I got one also.

I got one a couple of months ago. The letter with the book clearly stated what
is required of you by law, and that is nothing. You do not have to return the
book and you have no obligation to pay anything.

Warren,
A lot of us got them. If you want to see what the law says, go he

After I didn't return the book or money, I got two letters telling me
that I should do one or the other. I finally emailed them with this same
link and pointed out that what they were doing was illegal and that I
will not renew because of it. They sent me a polite email saying they
would take me off of their mailing list. Of course they had nothing to
say about their unethical and illegal methods.
