freeindeed Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'm still wating on mine...very impatiently!:tongue_smilie: I'm glad to hear that someone likes it. I've heard so many negative things about this year's catalog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaffodilDreams Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hee, hee! OP, you crack me up! I did enjoy reading the reasons behind and the goals for each core. In fact, it was my bedtime reading material last night. I do miss reading about each item, though. I certainly don't hate the catalog, and I feel badly for the people who put it together if they happen to read some of the reviews on this board. I worked in marketing in my previous life, so I know how invested one can get in a project. I respect the work that went into the creation of this catalog, and I am focusing on what they did right this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinivanMom Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I have to confess that I like it too. I do miss the book descriptions, but I think it's much more visually appealing. You can see everything that's in the core in one glance instead of leafing through pages and pages. There must be some way to add book descriptions back into the new format. I'm imagining a reference at the back that just lists books by topic or reading level. I'd pay 5 bucks for a Sonlight catalog like that :001_smile:.

I will say that I'm not reading it as much because of the lack of book descriptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica626 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 OOOOoooo! I am SO jealous. I live in CA and have not received my catalog yet. On top of my impatient-ness, we moved three weeks ago and I can't find my old catalog. My obsessing and brooding has nowhere to turn! Out of curiosity, for those of you who have already received the catalog, where do you live? Maybe I can metally track where mine is right now. At least it would give me something to do. Right?! :lol: I'm just hoping I changed my address in time to have it sent to my new home, instead of it getting re-routed through my old address. YAY! Glad to hear someone likes it!

khall Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 i just got it today. i figured i'd boost my popularity by saying i like it better than the old one!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :iagree: I just got mine yesterday and was waiting for it to be horrible based on what I had read on here. For me, the new layout is great. I love seeing an entire core on one page. I always go to scholastic book wizard for lexile levels anyway, so I can just read a book description on there as well.

Mom22ns Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'm jealous, but I will admit I downloaded it for a quick look already. Overall I like the new format too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outdoorsy Type Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I like the new catalog better, too. I've had it in my purse for the last few days browsing through at all free moments. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnMomof7 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I'm in Canada, so it will be a while..... I can't really say either way until I get a print copy in my hands. Pdf on the laptop just doesn't cut it :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodhaven Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I received mine several days ago. It is very pretty, they did a great job. I think it will be useful to anyone who is new to SL or considering SL for the first time. The catalog seems to be targeting that audience. :) I do appreciate that a LOT of work went into their new catalog. I truly enjoy using SL with my children, and know that a lot goes on behind the scenes to make them such a good company. However, the catalog is not very useful to me now. I loved to read the book descriptions, and show them to my dh. I used to look through the catalog when the kids were at music lessons or some other such class and decide whether or not I wanted to update my older cores or purchase a new IG. They are about to update their web site. It's not the same, but if they do a good job, it might not take too much time to search there for what I want.
