Can I be billed, and should I be expected to pay for, a book that I neither ordered or received?

Can I be billed, and should I be expected to pay for, a book that I neither ordered or received?

I have a subscription to a magazine. This company claims they sent a special book to me, along with a bill. I wrote back that I never ordered a book, nor did I receive said book. They continue to send a bill for it, and tell me on the bill that my name has been put on their list of delinquent accounts. How can I resolve this situation?
