Gordon press has long been on my list of vendors
not to order from.  We have experienced the same things,
including one prepayment for which material was never
received but the check was cashed and registered letters
were signed for.I will only order from Gordon if a
reputable jobber will handle the order for us.

Sorry not to have a better solution.

Back in 1990 we blacklisted Gordon Press Publishing due to huge
price increases on their materials.  They also would never issue
refunds.  Back then they mainly issued reprint editions.  We have
not used them since, so someone else may have more current
information.

We choose not to do business with this company because of
negative past experience.  I hope you have not pre-paid
them for anything and would recommend against it,
should they request it.

When I worked at a different library, this publisher
was on our "do not buy from" list, because they would
require prepayment, then not deliver the goods.
