UPS fraud, I guess. But, yes, I consider the $4 I paid for shipping part of the dispute. Let's see.....$154.00 at 5% simple interest for 24 years comes to $338.80 per book ($184.80 interest + $154.00 principal). I bought two books so that is $669.60.
And I convinced a friend to buy a book. I'd like to collect for his book too. So that is 3 books for $1016.40.
So, Jeff "Mr. Publisher" Conner, if you are reading this would you please send me a check (or PayPal would be fine, but please use the "gift" option) for $1016.40 and we'll call it even. Thank you very much.
