I remember some dialog regarding unsolicited mailings some time back but do
not remember if was regarding Faulkner and Gray.

My hospital has been inundated with F&G shipments.  It is our policy for any
orders to be placed with a PO# including free previews. They are being
shipped to deparments all over the hospital, then I get a phone call from
the department head wondering why "I" ordered these books for them.  I
called F&G today to see what the story is.... they claim a telemarketer gets
prior permission before shipping books.  I was asked to check for a name on
the invoice.  One of the reference names used is a secretary for the Nursing
Department, who does answer the phone but would never risk authorizing a
book order and others are last names of people who do not work here.  The
Director of Nursing is a STRICT manager and sends all of her requests to me
as I am the purchasing agent for books etc...!  The really good part is that
all of the invoices are being sent to her (the DON) and F&G says they have
authorization from various people throughout the hospital (much to their
surprise).

F&G said they would take us off of their telemarketer list, I have notified
our receiving department to refuse any shipments from them without a PO#.
Is anyone else having a similar problem.  This is poor business practice and
they seem to be "passing the buck" to their telemarketing dept.
