3.0 out of 5 stars NICE LITTLE BOOKLET..., November 30, 2003

This review is from: Stop Junk Mail Forever (Paperback)

This is a rather tiny "book", so I will try to sum-up the publication in as small an amount of space as possible.

The booklet (far too short to be considered a book) is divided into three parts. The first part is devoted to stopping junk mail. This chapter has some very good advice and interesting information that you probably don't already know. Although some of the information is now outdated, it's still useful, and good reading.

The second part is devoted to stopping telemarketing calls. This chapter has become obsoleted by new anti-telemarketing laws, and is of no practical use.

The third part is devoted to stopping spam. Legislation making its way through the system right now (in the U.S.) will soon make much of this chapter obsolete as well. Even if it didn't though, the information provided is often completely counterproductive, or at the very least a waste of one's time. The authors clearly are no authorities on the subject. As a network administrator who spends a large bulk of his time fighting spam, I can assure you that the author's methods will only result in your receiving even MORE spam. Seriously, don't even consider following the advice in this chapter!

Clearly, this title's value lies in the helpful hints it provides in assisting consumers in getting removed from (postal) mailing lists, and probably more importantly, in educating them on how to keep from being added to these lists in the first place. For that alone, this booklet is worth the price.
