coffeefreak Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Ok, I'll admit it, I'm a bargain shopper!:scared: So, I'm going to convention this weekend and I want to buy PLL and ILL, but I want to buy the version Hillside sells. The one updated by Margot Davidson. Is this sold anywhere beside's the Hillside website? Is there a big difference between the original and hers? Thanks for putting up with one last question from me :D (OK, I lied, there will be plenty more, but maybe this will be the last one about PLL):rofl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn E Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 by posting a WTB request on the Sale/Swap board and at homeschoolclassifieds.com. I also kept an eye on the sale boards while I waited to hear from someone. It took a while, but I eventually got PLL at a great deal. ILL may be more difficult to find though since it is so new.

coffeefreak Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 I actually was expecting to buy it new, I just hate to pay shipping:D Hopefully, I can find it at convention. I just thought it might be easier if I knew other companies that carried it. If not, I'll order it from Hillside this weekend :) Anyone know of other companies that carry it?

Dawn E Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 you'd be surprised of the "used" items you can find that are in like new condition because someone bought it and never used it. This was the case with the copy I got. And, though I love it, I'll also admit that upon seeing how small it was I was glad to have paid $10ppd as opposed to what it would have cost from Hillside with shipping. I got very excited earlier this year when I saw it listed at Amazon, but it states the item is out of stock and it has been that way for months. If you're willing to take a chance though, it is eligible for free shipping with a $25 purchase. Other than that, I really think you'll have to purchase it from Hillside or at convention. Someone else may know more, but I haven't seen it anywhere else. I do like this version better than the original. The color pictures are a great touch and the spiral binding makes it so much easier to use. Content-wise, there is not that much difference. They just updated some things and added a few more. Hope you find it! Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeefreak Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 Thanks Dawn! You've given me something to think about. Maybe I will buy it used. Hmmmmm - off to write my list up for the fair!:party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snickerdoodle Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Oh, I didn't know there was an updated version. I need to read more on this forum. I got the old version (I think) in the mail today and I absolutely love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lv2sing Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Are they all hardback? I have both of them and they are hardback and I bought them off of the old board about 3 years ago. They were like new and we have used them for 3 years and they still look great. This was a great find and is a great plan for my children. Here' hoping that people sell them when they are done...
