Subject: Re: Somerset Publishers

Before we leave the subject of Sommerset publisher I wanted to disclose the
latest information.  George Wells and his son live in California, and hire
housewives in Michigan to answer the phones and forward their mail. The
buisness address is in Michigan. These employees have no power to refund
money and have little contact with their employer. Apparently he has had
some financial difficulties in the past. The only recourse other than trying
The Better Business Bureau is to send a letter to Mr Wells at the Michigan
PO address-it will be forwarded but I think we are not dealing with an
honorable business. Apparently the books on the States are written by
different people which is why maybe some are worse than others and who knows
what the quality of their research is. s

> Hello LM_Netters,
>       Thanks to so many of you, I won't be previewing the state history
> books being sold by Somerset Publishers at $125.00 per volume. The
response
> was so overwhelming negative, I thought that it was important to share it
> with the group. The complaints with this company were:
>
> *extremely slow in filling orders, making customers wait a year or more
> *won't return phone calls
> *books are not worth the money and not appropriate for the elementary
level
> *books contain inaccuracies, outdated information, and even had pages
missing
> *would not give this company repeat business
>
> One person did say that the items purchased were useful.
>
> Thank you to all who took the time to share your experience with this
> company.  Judi
