Hello Hive, Well-Trained Mind Press is in the early stages of revising the book-lists (fiction and non-fiction) in the Activity Book of "The Story of the World, Volume 3." We'll be adding new titles that have come out in the past 15 years (or titles that we missed the first time around!), and deleting some that are so thoroughly out of print that no parent could be expected to find them. We have a plan for doing it that we think will provide a variety of parental viewpoints, and keep any one contributor from getting stuck with too much work. We've divided the book into sections (chap -

Some of you may know that I own a bed & breakfast on a corner of Peace Hill Farm. It's a lovely old farmhouse, the rooms are beautiful, and the hosts are welcoming (and amazingly good cooks). It's very family-friendly but we've just opened up an even more family-friendly option: the Publisher's Cottage. It sleeps up to 6 people easily, more with just a little bit of shoehorning. There's a washer/dryer and full kitchen. We're a 25-minute drive from Williamsburg and the Historic Triangle, 50 minutes from historic Richmond, and just minutes away from the colonial plantations along Route -

Folks, It's July and there's nothing good on TV, and we're bored, and we have so many stacks of lightly-scratched-and-dented copies of Writing With Ease workbooks (and a few other things) sitting in the office that we've got no room for our normal squirtgun wars. So in desperation, we're selling these books at 60% off the cover price. Orders over $50 will get free shipping. Call us and save a ridiculous amount of money on your back-to-school shopping: 1.877.322.3445.

Sometimes our books are damaged in the printer-to-warehouse-to-bookstore journey, and we can no longer sell them at full price. But if you don't mind a bit of minor wear & tear (small scratches, etc), you can save money on all kinds of Peace Hill Press products! We keep a list of currently-available discounted books here. Since they're kept at our office, rather than at our warehouse, you'll need to order them by phone. Call us at 1.877.322.3445.

Hello all, From now until Mother's Day, we're discounting our book of honest-poetry-for-mothers-of-small-children, "What it Is is Beautiful," down to $4.99 on our webstore. This book makes a wonderful gift for a young mother. It's not poetry about sunsets and flowers (mostly). It's about minivans and cracker-crumbs and secretly wishing your family was like the shiny families in commercials. Readers describe it like this: "Her poetry is not the kind of poetry that is hard to understand or tries to be too smart for its own good - instead, it's full of relatable language and common expe
