I've pretty much done this (the local library now has a handsome copy
of "The Best Recipe, 1st Edition" after they insisted on sending me a
copy of the 2nd Edition, BTW), but it doesn't stop me from having to deal
with the credit card company every time they do, and that's getting to
be a bigger irritation (although why the credit card company just
doesn't deny their transactions is a good question).
