COMPUTERS DON'T ARGUE
Gordon R Dickson
Anyone who has had dealings with a book club lately will readily agree with me
that this next story is frighteningly plausible.

Dear Sirs:
I wrote you recently about the computer punch card you sent, billing me for "Kim," by
Rudyard Kipling. I did not open the package containing it until I had already mailed you my check
for the amount on the card. On opening the package, I found the book missing half its pages. I
sent it back to you, requesting either another copy or my money back. Instead, you have sent me
a copy of "Kidnapped," by Robert Louis Stevenson. Will you please straighten this out?
I hereby return the copy of "Kidnapped."
Sincerely yours,
Walter A. Child
