Lawrence I see nothing wrong with your query about the book. It appears to be a well thought out request for information, which you apparently got! Perhaps Rev Brown might suggest that his personal friend Gordon MacGregor stop accepting monies for a product he isn't quite able to ship, and place a little notice on his website that he's behind in filling his orders. I fail to see the reason for any delay if he is offering to simply email a copy of the book. I, for one, certainly can see why you would consider the website offer a scam when neither reply nor book was forthcoming. Perhaps Gordon MacGregor needs to adjust his aol email so that he can receive all the mail sent his way. That might well be the source of all the problems. It is good to know the book exists in some form and that it might be possible to procure a copy. I think your patience is commendable and that you should attempt to get your second payment back through Pay Pal while you have the opportunity. I'm also rather glad that the Rootsweb list mail is archived and available to searchers on the web. It might help prevent others from adding to the burden of Gordon MacGregor's overwhelming requests for the book. When Mr. MacGregor resolves his backlog and you do get a copy of the book you have paid for, please share that information with the list so that anyone interested might then purchase a copy.

Pam How well you put it! Gordon MacGregor should not be inviting new orders so long as he can't fulfil the earlier ones. I was invited to send a cheque for £35 in September, and of course have received nothing, neither book nor explanation.
