When Central Plains Book Manufacturing was about to declare bankruptcy, they failed to alert their customers to this fact and indeed continued to try to take on new customers. (In addition, we placed a call to Central Plains after they were already in bankruptcy and they were happy to try to take a new order from us.)
This resulted in major problems for Central Plains Book Manufacturing customers when Central Plains failed to fulfill their book orders.
The following account is an example of one such negative experience. It comes from Eliza Earsman (http://www.elizaearsman.com/4.html):

On 5 August 2007 this email was received from the same Becky Pate:
"Central Plains has found itself in a terrible situation with the IRS and we have been forced to file for Chapter 11 (Bankruptcy/protection against creditors!) in order to try to salvage our company.
Right now all work in process has been "frozen" by the court."

CPBM didn't find itself in a 'terrible situation with the IRS' overnight! So say I and many!
*** end of quote ***
We agree. You don't owe the IRS $300,000 in back taxes overnight. They knew they were in major trouble and selfishly failed to disclose this information to their customers. Pathetic.
