GEN: Guinness 99

[Mary Helen Fischer <mfischer@BUSD.EDCOE.K12.CA.US>]

Quite a few people have responded to my question regarding the suitability
of the 99 edition of Guinness.  Most agree that it is questionable.  I did
track down an address and thought I'd pass it on in case anyone else wants
to write to voice their concerns.  It is
        Guinness Publishing, Ltd.
        6 Landmark Square
        Stamford CT 06901
        (203) 359 7100, ext. 7473

I realize that they don't publish this just for libraries, especially not
elementary and middle school libraries.  But I do believe it is important
that we make a statement when issues like this arise.  So, for what it's
worth, I'm sending them a letter voicing my concerns.
