Another source for cheap books is the Scholastic Instructional Resources catalog. They have "bruised" books for $1.00 each. I have ordered these for our "Birthday Book" program. You have no choice of titles, but most of them are popular books that may have a scratch or minor bend on them. The value is certainly there; many times I can't even tell how they are bruised. Oh, by the way, the way to obtain the Scholastic Instructional Resources catalog is to hold a Scholastic Book Fair. Hopefully that won't be a problem or deterrent for any of you. I'm sure you can work with your media coordinator (librarian) to get access to this catalog.

I go to flea markets, garage sales, used book stores, thrift stores, etc. and buy up books cheaply. You might also try Scholastic and similar places online....they give bulk discounts so you can buy 25 or 30 brand new books for $2 or $3 each....

I've always wanted to give my entire class a book at the end of each school year but even at $5 a book (the cheapest I can think of) for 20 children, that's quite a bit of money. So, I'll have to look for these specials in the future. Elisa Waingort Calgary, Canada This book--the one with Stinky Stinky Diaper Change--was a 99center from a book order some years ago and the smartest thing I did was buy one for every kid for shared reading. Then I gave it to them at the end of the year.
