ElisabethGrace Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 It looks that way according to her blog entry dated July 1st, 2008.:hurray: http://susanwisebauer.com/blog/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alana in Canada Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 That raises th question: How often should we re-purchase this tome? In her blog SWB says most of the changes have to do with updating curriculum suggestions. I wonder if that couldn't be a much less expensive supplement one could buy from time to time?

Lovedtodeath Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Well I am buying it, and I can't wait! :001_tt2: I am just starting out:leaving: though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Bay Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Yes:001_smile:, it's real and I hope to buy it new. Since I only have the original and didn't buy the second one, I plan to but the next one just as soon as I have any spending money. Things do change--SWB even got lots of suggestions right from this board, and I'm guessing she had this new edition in mind. I try to buy something new from her from time to time (and I do every year for history) and only sometimes used to help support this board/forum I've garnered so much from.

In her blog SWB says most of the changes have to do with updating curriculum suggestions. I wonder if that couldn't be a much less expensive supplement one could buy from time to time? Good question! I only purchased the last revision (2004?) this spring :blushing: I think the value in keeping an updated copy is that you can learn about the most current homeschooling resources. However, I don't see why this website and forum can not fill that need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristangrace Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I made up my mind last time around that I will buy each new edition as it's available, since TWTM is really THE guide we follow. But I probably won't purchase it until next spring, when I'm planning for fall 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bethany Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Ugh, seriously? My husband *just* bought me the revised and updated edition because I told him it was on my wish list. I can't see spending $40 again next year to get the newest. It would be nice, as a previous poster said, to have a supplemental brochure or booklet with all of the new curriculum suggestions, rather than having to get the whole book all over again.

Parrothead Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I'm looking forward to the new one. My dog tried to eat the copy I have - the revised edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkInTheBlue Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 LOL, my husband accidentally packed my old, trusty WTM book a couple of weeks ago. Of course, I needed it last week so I went out and bought the 2nd edition. I know I've read Susan say over and over that the 2nd edition just updated the book lists. Good for them releasing another edition. I bet it'll be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I knew a new edition was coming out so I've held off buying the book. I just loaned it from the library in the mean time. I can't wait to get the new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetfeet Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I knew a new edition was coming out so I've held off buying the book. I just loaned it from the library in the mean time. I can't wait to get the new one. I've been doing the same. I can't wait for it to be released so I can have my own copy to mark and post-it like crazy.

wagnfun Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I have the ORIGINAL version and only barrowed the newest from friends & the library. I WILL purchase this one. My ONLY SWB request and this is a request to ALL book publisher really.. *** When you UPDATE, REVISE a book, -- please change the cover picture! It just makes it easier for a crazy busy mom like me when I'm grabbing a book! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzdaisy Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I am going to buy the new one and give the older edition to my dd who is homeschooling twins in Kindergarten this year I know she can't afford to buy one right now.Can't wait!

I wonder if that couldn't be a much less expensive supplement one could buy from time to time? :iagree: Unless there are major revisions to the plan, I'd do both. The big tome for those just starting out, and the supplement for the old hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2GirlsTX Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I have the original and have waited till this latest one came out to buy again. I love SWB and am looking forward to seeing the updates, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
