tammyw Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I want to print off a list so my daughter can just read them in order. Is there a list of these books in order somewhere? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 World in Ancient Times The Early Human World The Ancient Near Eastern World (8000 BCE – 330 BCE) The Ancient Egyptian World The Ancient South Asian World (7000 BCE – 712 CE) The Ancient Chinese World The Ancient Greek World The Ancient Roman World The Ancient American World Medieval and Early Modern World The European World: 400-1450 The African and Middle Eastern World: 600-1500 The Asian World: 600-1500 An Age of Empires: 1200-1750 An Age of Voyages: 1350-1600 An Age of Science and Revolutions: 1600-1800 I didn't find the student guides to be very useful, but the teacher's guides had links and suggested books that were worthwhile for me for some of the volumes. I'm finding the History of US manuals to be completely useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoPlaceLikeHome Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I missed the sale on these 2 years ago. Any sales now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammyw Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thank you!!! I paid $300 on amazon because I couldn't find them on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Academy Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Yeah, but you don't have to follow directions! I'm planning on rearranging this a little bit, because I think the Egypt book (which goes all the way through Cleopatra) works better right before Greece, then Rome. So I'm planning on: Early Human World Ancient Chinese World Ancient South Asian World Ancient Near Eastern Ancient Egyptian Ancient Greek Ancient Roman We'll then do Ancient American at the beginning of the next year, with some of the ME series, order TBD.

My e-mail took me directly to the OUP page from their sale link, and it listed all the sale prices because it remembered me. You need my cookies! LOL The six on sale (for $18.50 each): Chinese Egyptian Greek Roman South Asian Primary Source & Reference Volume Leaving at full price (for $36.95 each): American Near Eastern Human Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alte Veste Academy Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 For interested parties, some of the Medieval & Early Modern World volumes are on sale also. An Age of Empires: $23.00 An Age of Science and Revolutions: $16.50 The African and Middle Eastern World: $16.50 The European World: $18.50 Leaving at full price: An Age of Voyages: $32.95 The Asian World: $36.95 Primary Source & Reference Volume: $32.95 The whole set sells for $230 ($189.48 right now on Amazon, probably because they robo-track publisher sales), but I know OUP puts it on sale as a set, because I got the whole shebang for half off.

Alte Veste Academy Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 So, if I'm interested in this for next year I should wait for a better deal? I searched my e-mail but I can't find when I ordered the set. I really think it was Jan or Feb last year, so it may have been during this same sale but maybe the whole set isn't half off this year...yet anyway. I feel like I can't advise you because I would hate to be wrong either way. I will say that basically I paid $16ish a piece for the 7 Medieval volumes (think I paid $115 for the whole set new), so the sale prices are good and there are many good quality copies on Amazon to make up the difference.

Do you mean the set normally sells for $330? That's all I never saw it listed for. I got it on Amazon for $297, which is the current price, but it looks like you can get it there from other retailers for a few dollars less.

No, what I quoted was for the Medieval and Early Modern Times set, which has only 7 books compared to the 9 in the WIAT set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I just looked now at Amazon and it seems that I can get the US Set, which is what I was looking for a good price in good condition, even less than half off the OUP price, so I'll go with that.
