Maybe atypical, based on the other posts, but I got them to stop sending
unsolicited stuff with one phone call. When the person on the other end
of the conversation said that I had somehow agreed to receive future
volumes when I ordered a book by returning one of their postcards, I
mentioned sending appropriate inquiries to the Postal Service, the BBB,
the credit card company and I forget whom else. In any case, the
unsolicited stuff stopped arriving.
