The fundamental right of all consumers is satisfaction. Yet most consumers fail to let businesses know of their dissatisfaction with a product or service. They would rather replace the defective item and complain to friends than exercise their consumer rights. Get What You Pay For or Don't Pay at All is the definitive resource manual for effective consumer action. It includes winning strategies and psychological principles for complaints that can lead to a satisfactory on-the-spot resolution. This book offers step-by-step procedures for each of more than 35 specific grievances -- from airlines to the workplace -- in person, by telephone and by mail. It includes effective sample letters; instructive case histories; addresses for manufacturers, corporate headquarters, consumer help organizations, regulatory agencies, professional associations; and toll-free numbers. A special section covers consumer rights under the American Disabilities Act. Get What You Pay For provides the power tools you need to help you successfully stand up for your rights as a consumer.

Get What You Pay For . . . . Or Don't Pay At All

Three Rivers Press

The first book to trace the 25-year history of TV's longest-running situation comedy, complete with summaries and plots of more than one hundred episodes, and with more than one hundred rare and nostalgic photographs. For serious students and fans, notes on how the show was created, written and filmed. (Mostly in chaos and exclamation points. The failsafe: get back to the kitchen table.) For lovers of detail, the Hong Kong Garden Chinese Restaurant, the Bushwick Hospital (where Ed went when a manhole cover landed on his head) and an exhaustive list of 500 Honeymooners references, from Aberdeen Proving Grounds to Ziggy. Scrapbook-style, with essays, reminiscence, photos, songs ("You're My Greatest Love"), note son Chauncy Street today, and updates on Ralph and Ed and all the Alices and all the Trixies. Plus selected sewer jokes and favorite fat jokes, interviews with Jackie Gleason and his real-life boyhood pals, comments by Audrey Meadows and Art Carney and original contributions by Imogene Coca, Bob Hope, Norman Lear, Sam Levenson, Bob Cummings, Joan Rivers. And away we go! 53,000 copies in print.

ARCHIE &amp; EDITH, MIKE &amp; GLORIA tells the complete story of the most widely viewed and perhaps the most controversial sitcom series in the history of television-the show that dared to take on race, religion, politics, and sex and make us laugh at the same time. Packed with photos, the book captures the Bunker mentality and traces the Bunker legacy through thirteen years on prime time.
