Subject: A book scam warning

Book in question: _Comeback Dads_ by James Dunn

Pasadena Public has also received an invoice for this book 
that we did not order. Interestingly, the invoice has only 
a P.O. Box. No phone number or physical address is provided.
I hope this information is helpful to others.

Hello All, Beware of the book _Comeback Dads_ which has been sent out to
libraries by Trillion Publishing, Sebastopol, CA and followed up a
couple of weeks later with an invoice.  The book was not solicited by us
and after checking with our County Law Library Public Law Center I was
told that they received the book and invoice to follow as well.  The
Public Law Center reviewed the book and found it to be quite biased and
poorly written.  I would advise not to pay for this book.
