I have been a member for about twenty years. I had my very first article published in the January/Feburay 1992 issue. I too started to get the unsolicited books from them quite a few years back. I just wrote on the invoices, "I didn't order this item! Thanks for the gift." They stopped sending them and I still have them. I guess if I would have called down the big dogs on them, they would have removed me from the membership as well, but I just said thanks and let it go. The end result was the same - I stopped receiving the stuff, but I am still a member. I enjoy the magazine and if I were to advertise the American Crossbow Federation and the Horizontal Bowhunter Magazine, that is the publication I would choosebecuase they have so many members.
