Dear Friends:

Thank you SO MUCH for your calls and emails to Amazon. Your feedback has been amazing. Please keep the pressure on. If any of you know Amazon executives, shareholders, or have contacts who can publicize this please make those connections. For those of you on Facebook, Twitter, etc., please spread the word.

I've been told that you can email Amazon part owner Jeff Bezos at this address: jeff@amazon.com. I have no idea if emails sent to that address will actually get to him, but it's worth a try.

NEW YORK - Amazon is selling a self-published book defending pedophiles, sparking discussions about the retailer's obligation to vet items before they are sold in its online stores, and threats of boycott from Amazon customers if the book is not removed.

The book, " The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure: a Child-lover's Code of Conduct" by Philip R. Greaves II, offers advice to pedophiles afraid of becoming the center of retaliation. It is an electronic book available for Amazon.com Inc.'s Kindle e-reader.
