JustGin Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 At our libraries used book sale, I found a neat looking American history textbook from Prentice Hall for $2.50. I bought it simply as another resource text, but when I got home and looked at it more closely, I discovered it's only 4 years old and includes a cd with 300 primary source documents! That alone was worth the $. :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I love those kinds of finds! Enjoy .... Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in AL Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 That's a wonderful find!! I was similarly surprised when I bought a "like new" biology book for $5 and when I got home I found out it was a highly recommended Campbell's Biology book with a new CD! Congrats on your find!! I am now reminded that I need to hit the library again....now that schools are out, I'm hoping people have been donating their used books! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolfoasia Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 WOW! That is a great find. My library has sales, and I never seem to be able to go to them! I am on the downside of buying books now since I have an 11th grader, and he is passing his books down to the 9th grader. I am in the selling mode now! I have gotten rid of most of them in our Used Curriculum Sale her in my town. I am thinking of donating the stuff I don't sell to our library! If I can't sell them, I might as well get the tax deduction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then there will be another happy homeschooler somewhere posting about what a great find she/he made at the library book sale!

JustGin Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 And now I'm curious if anyone here is familiar with the book itself and can tell me if it's a good resource. I KNOW the cd is going to be worth the $2.50. :) The textbook is The American Journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
