elegantlion Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I just pried my copy from the mailbox a few minutes ago. It looks great! I'm glad I'll have some free time this weekend. Has anyone else received theirs yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Not fair. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Nooooooo! That's not fair! And it's especially not fair when we won't have mail until Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy in ME Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I was hoping I would be able to read through mine this weekend. It's not fair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bells Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I gleaned plenty of ideas and inspiration from LCC (I). Are there substantially more ideas & inspiration in II? Thank you. Bells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaid Dad Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I gleaned plenty of ideas and inspiration from LCC (I). Are there substantially more ideas & inspiration in II? Thank you.Bells The book is much expanded with rewritten chapters and much new material. There's a summary of what's new here. If you scroll to the bottom of the page you can download a PDF with more details. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithr Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I just got mine today! But I haven't had time to go through it. About to make ice tea and retire to back porch for intensive reading session! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been debating the purchase for a few reasons, and the PDF about the new edition helped me decide. I will purchase Tuesday! (so now y'all can't feel so bad, as you will all have it memorized before I even get mine!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profmom Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Yes! Mine came today too! I've already been able to spend some time going through it, especially focusing on the sections that pertain to the decisions I'm still making with curricula. The first LCC was good, but this one really is better. :D Thanks Plaid Dad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bells Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Having read the PDF on What's New, I think this will be one of my next purchases. I've never met a book list I didn't like...and I am curious about your curricula updates and recommendations. Good stuff - thanks.

runningirl71 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 That is so not fair! I've been checking my mailbox for the past two days for mine! Oh well, will have to wait until Tuesday I guess! Good thing we have a Revolutionary War re-enactment going on this weekend. At least it isn't a boring weekend where I have lots of time on my hands (does that ever happen??) or I would be REALLY jealous! :) Enjoy!:lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clwcain Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Mine arrived while I was out of town over the weekend. I tucked into it last night and I'm almost done. Congrats, Drew. It is very well done. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Woosh, mine came today! I don't have time to read it, though. But, on the bright side, I no longer have a spiteful urge to give negative rep to everyone on this thread who said they already had their copy.

You all are making me want to get a copy and I'm not even using LCC (and I have the 1st edition on my shelf - which I enjoyed reading a year or two ago!). I'm such a curriculum junkie! I love thinking through it and LCC has some great points! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's any consolation, I still don't have my author copies. I did email the publisher about it, though. I want to see what the baby looks like! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
