Dear OATH (Organization of African Traditional Healers):

Thanks for calling our attention to your concern about the classification of different earth-based religions in our catalog.

I would like to assure you that we share your concerns. We are willing to make some changes in our system, but we'll need your guidance and assistance.

The first step in making this type of correction to multiple titles is to compile a list of the ISBNs of incorrectly categorized titles. If your organization could supply us with a list of ISBNs that you feel to be incorrectly classified on Amazon.com, we'll perform the necessary research and make the changes if possible. Indicate the specific subject category/subject heading change that you would like made for each ISBN/group of ISBNs.

Please note that we receive our information from a variety of sources, and that you may need to work with other related firms that maintain bibliographic databases in order to affect our database.

Thank you for your input and your patience!

Best regards,
Catalog Department
Amazon.com, Inc.

NOTE: All new books on ATRs will be reclassified. However, if you already have books on African Diasporic Religions that are misclassifed under "Satanism, Occult, Cults" etc., please send the ISBN (International Stock Book Number) to: OATH, and will add them to the list, and forward to Amazon.com for reclassification.
