Star Tech P.O. Box 456 Dunlap, Tennessee 37327 USA (books, videos)
(A warning about Star Tech: Many fans have had difficult dealings with the management--non-delivery of merchandise, delivery of wrong merchandise, damaged shipments, poor or non-existent customer service, and the like. Management at Star Tech has recently changed; some people report better service from the new group than from previous dealings. Still, enough complaints have been received about Star Tech to warrant a "let the buyer beware" statement.)
