Dear Sir,

Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare．Your company, Cosmo Books Ltd., offered this set (eight books of plays and two books of poetry)at what was claimed to be a ‘remarkable’price:fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing．I had wanted a set of Shakespeare’s plays and poems for some time, and these books in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive;so I sent for them．

Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered．So I returned the Dickens books to you , with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare．Two more weeks passed．Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six-book set of the plays of Moliere, in French．Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all．However, I could not afford to post all these books back to you , so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice．

You did not reply to that letter．Instead you sent me a bill for forty-two pounds,
