Story: a minister at a Lutheran school made the case to me that selling unsolicited mailed books is ok because 1. They save money by mailing and not sending out a rep 2. They ask you to review the book without your consent 3. They do not offer a reviewing fee to you. He claimed he would review it, sometimes sell them, and that was his fee. Obviously soliciting books just to sell to a bookbuyer is unethical ..... John W.

Can you share with me (off-list if you don’t want to burn one of your three posts to the lists for the day) your school’s policy (if any) and what you think about it.
