calledtobehome Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Would it hurt to get the old edition of SOTW 1 book and the AG for my 1st and K son? Someone in my area is willing to sell it to me for only $15.00. Since I have this on my list to eventually purchaseAlthough it was the revised edition) I just want to make sure I'm not wasting money. So what do you think?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I think it's ABSOLUTELY worth the money to get the revised AG. It's just much, much better. For the main book, I don't think it really matters. The newer one is a little nicer to look at, but the old one is just fine. But the difference in the first edition and the revised edition of the AG is pretty significant. The student pages especially are significantly improved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I used the old text along with the new AG. No regrets here. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 The maps and the student pages are what is improved, along with the formatting of myths. It is worth $15 just for the text in each of those books, but it is also worth paying more for the improved versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio12 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 :iagree: you should get the newer AG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Get the newer. I was tempted, as you are, to get an old copy of SOTW2 and I'm soooo glad I didn't. The newer ag is much much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 We have the older versions and I don't intend upgrading just for the maps and coloring pages for my 2nd dd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaof2andtwins Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I haven't seen the newer versions. However, my children did just fine on the first edition twice. Jennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I haven't seen the newer versions. However, my children did just fine on the first edition twice. Jennie :iagree: Well, not twice yet, as we're about to enter our 2nd cycle, but I have no plans for getting the revised version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
