I'm not surprised: New York Times a no-go: - $tevie - 01-15-2008

I had a feeling they would react when the avalanche of attempted subscribers poured in:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your interest in St. Martin’s Press special offer of a three-month gift subscription to The New York Times with the purchase of a copy of The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge, 2nd Edition.

As you know, this offer is limited to those who have purchased the book. Unfortunately, due to a large number of ineligible requests relating to this offer (the offer has been posted on “free offer” websites), we must now ask for an original store receipt in connection with each request for a gift subscription. Please print the form below, completing the information requested, and mail it along with your original store receipt for the purchase of The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge, 2nd Edition, with purchase price circled, to: Essential Knowledge-LS, St. Martin’s Press, 175 5th Avenue, New York, New York, 10010. If your store receipt is unavailable, or you have any questions or difficulties, please send an email to essentialknowledge@stmartins.com, including your name and daytime and evening telephone numbers, and we will contact you to try to resolve the difficulty.

We apologize for any inconvenience. Once we have received a hard copy of the form below and your receipt, your three month gift subscription will start within 6 to 8 weeks.

Sincerely,

St. Martin's Press
