New Products:

I have several new products on the shelf.

1. MATH Lessons for a Living Education. Available in grades 1-6. This is a colorful workbook from Master Books

2. The Amazing Dr. Ransom’s Bestiary of Adorable Fallacies. Textbook and Flashcards. This is a totally fun way to teach Logic. (Thanks to Carrie Grassmyer for a head’s up on this really cute set!)

Come by and check them out–both of these items have great illustrations.

Price Drop:

I’ve lowered the price on some current edition used Apologia textbooks:

• Exploring Creation with General Science (2nd ed) $25
• Exploring Creation with Physical Science (2nd ed) $25
• Exploring Creation with Biology (2nd ed) $25

I also have 2nd edition Chemistry and 1st edition Human Body for $20. I have the other 2nd edition titles (and 3rd edition Chem) at 40% off–$39. There are also some 1st editions in the bargain section for $1.

And because this is my blog and I can do what I want–here is a cute personal pic–what I’ve been up to this week. 😀

Mary and Malachi born to Hannah at 2 hours old.

The Quarter Sale is ON! It will be Tuesday March 27 and Wednesday March 28, from 12-6. Should be 7,000-8,000 books on sale. This will include some items recently moved back there: DK/Usborne (still have more than a hundred of these left), most of my creation books–ones with older copyrights, and a crate filled with dinosaur titles. For those new to it, I will include the description of the quarter sale below. But first…

I’m doing something new this time. In addition to all the Bargain Books being reduced to 25¢, I’m setting up a table to try and move out overstock items. For the most part, these are current edition books that I just have too many of. They will be $1 each instead of the regular price for these two days. Some examples are:

• English From the Roots Up
• Dear America readers
• Polished Cornerstones, Plants Grown Up, and others from this publisher
• Veritas Press History and Bible guides, cards, and CDs
• Kay Arthur kid’s Bible studies.
• Learning Language Arts Through Literature Teacher Guides 2nd edition (This has just been updated to 3rd edition. I have all the 2nd edition student activity books too, but at the regular discounted price.)
• Simply Grammar
• America’s Providential History

The above will be $1 each for these two days, not 25¢.

************************

Here’s the spiel for the quarter sale…

Each item in the bargain section will be a quarter (25¢). Sets of books are 25¢ per item. This includes books from my bargain area from the topics of math, science, history/geography, language arts, Bible, homeschool helps, old edition BJU and Abeka, and lots and lots of readers/novels . And TONS of flashcards.

This is a great opportunity to stock up on educational resources. For a quarter, it’s easy, for example, to buy a science book and cut it up to use the pictures for a lap book–no guilt involved. 🙂

Young children are always welcome in the store, but if you have an option to not bring them this week–it would probably be safer for them 😉  (I’ll be temporarily removing the play area this week since it’s in the bargain section and there is just no room if we add in people, too).

I will be accepting consignments. (I take them year-round, no exceptions.) As a head’s up, I am getting pickier due to space constraints throughout the store. I can sort your stuff quickly when you bring it in to let you know which I’ll take.

If you’ve got them, bring your cloth supermarket bags–they are ideal for hauling away all your goodies. And I take donations of plastic grocery bags if you’d like to recycle them with me.

Thanks!

This is actually personal and not related to the store. But I thought I would tap into the homeschool community and all its talents. 🙂

I have recently finished writing a novel and I’m looking for a high school student who has a talent with mapmaking and doing fonts freehand. I need a map to go with my story for the front of the book. I have in mind something similar to what is in The Hobbit style-wise (minus the elvish). Though my map would need to be a little more complicated than this sample.

The Hobbit:

It needs to be close to professional quality. If you have a student with these talents, please have them email me a sample(s) of their work. The student would need to be able to take my pathetic sketches and a description and translate that into a cool map. The final project would include a payment of $50 and attribution in the book.

Thanks!

Today, Friday afternoon (9/22), books were taken from the front of my store by someone looking for free books. They had been placed on the opposite side from the free section and were in two labeled boxes. They had been left by a consignor.

If you mistakenly took these books, it would be greatly appreciated if you could return them. They include the following titles (and maybe others that it would be odd that they were being given away as they would be valuable):

• God’s Design For Sex
• Daily Grams 5 and Easy Grammar Plus, student and teacher books
• Streams of Civilizations
• A beka high school health
• Character builder books (possibly titled diligence & perseverance)
• Chemistry book
• Research paper writing instruction book.
• Abeka Language B
• Sonlight Binders

The Free Section for my store has been permanently removed now. Any unsaleable books brought by consignors will be returned to them during check in.
