Here's one link I've found so far:

Here's another link which indicates that if the package is delivered by
any means other than the USPS then you must notify the sender and give
them an opportunity to arrange pickup of the goods (at their expense):
http://www.mycounsel.com/content/refunds/consumer/mailorder.html
So it is clear that anything which is properly addressed to you sent by
the USPS is yours to keep if you did not order it (and participating in
a book or CD of the month club counts as ordering). If sent by private
carrier, you do need to contact the sender, but they are still
responsible for retrieving the item.
Now an interesting question, to what length are you required to go to to
contact the sender? What if the sender sends a package by UPS with a
bill, and a 900 number to call to cancel your "order"?
