I'm still baffled by how this mailing list was created. I suppose some things may never be understood.
I am aware of brokers who sell lists of plain people to advertise to. Maybe they purchased one of those lists.

In the case of the last book "I" received (at my father-in-law's house, which we now own), the letter was on the back of the address cover sheet. So maybe they didn't look at the back. (It was an 8 1/2 x 11 full sheet, folded to half size. So if the recipient doesn't unfold it, they will not see the letter on the back.)

Makes sense. Prolly saves on printing costs. :lol:

I always look at the back of things I receive in the mail, and if the reverse side is clear, I save it for scratch paper. I copy the sodoko out of the Holmes County Bargain Hunter (a free weekly paper), typing it into a spread sheet I created, then printing it. That way my wife gets the original newspaper copy, and I have my own copy (and can reprint it if I mess up). I have copies of lots of sodoko puzzles, going back to when we used to buy each Sunday's local newspaper out of a box at up at the grocery store. After they took away those boxes, and only sold the newspaper in some local stores, I quit buying them, because someone else has to work on Sundays in order for them to sell them. I checked - the oldest one I copied that way is from in March of 2006.
