An acquaintance of mine actually called Houghton-Mifflin and 
apparently this is a marketing idea gone berserk.  They have
well over 34 thousand messages so far, have tied up their
servers beyond belief, and are asking that no more e-mail
messages be sent.  BTW, the computer department there is
ready to kill the marketing department.
