I fell for this scam!  They sent my some promotional material. It claimed you would get to try tools out, and receive their monthly magazine.  So I figured the magazine was worth it.  What they did not say, was that each month you would get a book in the mail.  They included a return sticker with postage, in case you decided not to keep it. The first was ten dollars, and was worth it.  I kept it, and paid for it.
However the second book was another story.  It did not come with a pre-posted return envelope and the price was $29.98 including the shipping and handling.  This book was not worth the price asked. The tools received for "testing" were simple items you could purchase in any dollar store.  I now realize this is just a come on, to sell books.  Like the old Time-Life books.  If they simply had stated this from the start, I might not have issues with them.  However this is just a scam to get you to buy their books.  I have all the fix-it books I need.  If they simply sent a list of publications.  I might actually purchase a few.  The book on tools and techniques was good.  The book on building decks and patios was not worth any more than twelve dollars at most.
I am afraid that I have been suckered into getting books in the mail forever.  I am simply warning others.

I just went thru the exact same oroblem with them and insted of emailing them, I went looking foir a phone number to their customer service. They will tell yiu to give them your cutmer number. I doin't have one, so I picked the closet I could find on the notice they sent me and then I reclled them. They are omn Cantral Standard time which wasa goon for me. I called them at 4pm my time which puts them an hour behind me. It was 3pm there. They were very couteous and nice and cancelled me right away. I owed them nothing that made me feel great/

and the time to call on Saturday.

Phone number is 1-200-2457679

MON-Fri 7:60-8pm
