Re: [AGA-sc] Fwd: Please do not send check

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

If we do, I'll have to ask again for the address unless one
of you has it. For phone number, I can substitute mine --
if they call, which is only when there's a delivery
problem, at least I'll know about it.

Would it violate protocol to insist on Amano taking
something after he's already so "Thanks, no thanks"? In the
US, first refusal generally is not accepted as the final
word -- but Japan?

Truth is, based on the best info available, if Amano didn't
take/give away the books, then my guess is that we probably
did sell them.
