List 1 : American History: Cornerstones of Freedom Books

Here is a great list of Twaddle Free books that are sure to excite your students in their delight-directed learning!  What better way to learn, than to first open up a book!

Here is how it works:  


  •  I will be posting at least once a week.  I will try to be fairly consistent, and hope it will be on Sunday Night.  
  • I will also be posting the same books on my instagram feed:  charlottemasonlibrary  I recommend that you follow my instagram feed as well. 
  •  I will announce on  my Twitter Account  cmlibraryblog Sunday night  that I will be publishing a new list.   
  • If you see something you would like to order, please email me at :Charlottemasonlibraryblog@gmail.com.  First come, first serve policy.
  • When I receive your email  stating what book you want,  I will confirm that you  can purchase it.  Then I will email you back asking you for your  address, and give you your total (with shipping).
  • Then you may place your paypal order. (see below) .  When that is done, I will  ship within 2 days.  
  • Remember.  I have thousands of books that I need to move!  :) 

 Nearly all of my books will be $3.00 +Shipping and Handling.  Some may be cheaper (paperbacks), others a bit more expensive (collectibles) .  But the majority of my books are $3.00.   I will be mailing books per media mail to keep your costs down.  If you want them sooner, you must let me know.   

At this time, I only accept PayPal  (Fulqwvrmom@aol.com) for online payments. If you would like to pay by check, then I will hold your book until the check clears, then mail your book.



I will do my best to answer any questions you might have regarding the book themselves.

******************************************************************************* 
The Cornerstones of Freedom  Books


"A series of 32 page books jam-packed with information on very specific events in American history. Geared for ages 9-11, grades 4-6, each book includes both color and black & white photographs, maps, a glossary, and a timeline of the events surrounding the event covered. Nicely layed out and interesting." "(From: Exodusbooks)

This is a really great set of books to have in your home.  There are quite a few of these books in the series and good for even an adult, if you are wanting an overview of a certain event in American History.   I have approximately 40 of these books and have used them in our history lessons, or as part of our summer reading .  I have even paid my kids $.10-.25 upon reading each book. But after a few books...they don't need the $ prompts!   I have one more child working through them, then off they go to being posted here.    Several of the titles listed below I have never seen  except when I purchased them.  They are all hard backs., used and in good condition.   If you keep your eye out, you might find them at thrift stores or antique stores...but they are becoming increasingly  more difficult to find, especially the hardbacks.  With revisionist history in full swing, particularly in American History, these titles will add to your U.S. history collection as  YOU  learned it. I have placed an asterisk next to the title to let you know that this particular title is scarce .    Snatch them up when you find them and start your collection now! 

At this time...all 46 of my Cornerstones of Freedom books are sold.  I will be posting another list , hopefully by Wednesday night, 7/8/15  Thanks EVERYONE!

It's About To Happen!!!!

Hang On To Your Hats!
We're about to roll!

Here it is...a full 3 months since I actually put up my first blog post.    I had no idea it would take so long to get all this  going.  But here we are on the verge of the launch!  I have been working on boxing up books for "Lists".  I plan to do a list of  approximately 10-15 books  for each post  . Initially , there may be more than one list posted a week.  Other times, it should be at least once a week.  I already have several lists ready to go, so I will try to keep ahead of the game.   I have taken individual pictures of each book (ha, in good daylight! Unlike the terrible photo below.)  And for some of the books I have taken an additional photo to show you the illustrations, particularly if they are exceptional.   I am going to make the lists fairly thematic.  For instance:  American History, Landmark Books, Cornerstones of Freedom books, Ancient History, Middle Ages, Biographies, This and That...etc.  I may have a separate page for Homeschool Curriculum  for sale as well. 

One of the lists boxes...(ugh! many pardons for this night time photo)


Here is how it will work:  


  •  I will be posting at least once a week.  I will try to be fairly consistent, and hope it will be on Sunday Night.  
  • I will also be posting the same books on my instagram feed:  charlottemasonlibrary  I recommend that you follow my instagram feed as well.

Welcome to my NEW Blog!I



Site is currently under construction!  Join me as I continue to update...daily!


I have been wanting to start this blog for ages! Finally the time seems right.  I have quit a part time job that I had, and now I may turn my attentions to other endeavors.

Let me tell you my vision for this blog.  First, and I am afraid , selfishly...I need to start the sad process of dispersing my own personal library that I have been building for 29 years!  I can still remember pushing my little baby girl (6 months old!) around in  her stroller at a used book vendor at a local fair.  I stumbled upon a box of old children's books, lavishly illustrated...they just called my name.  And they have been calling my name ever since.  I have laughed (and others with me) that I have been on a mission to "save each and every living book printed before the year 1960"... and I think I have done a pretty good job of it.  But, it is time to downsize my 20 + ceiling-to- floor bookcases that have books double and triple parked.

As time allows, I would like to   highlight certain books and series.  Also,  I want to price my books so that they can be affordable to anyone.   My purpose is not to make a fortune, but just to basically get back what I put into them.

You will notice that many of my books are library discards.  I will write a more detailed description, if I find the book to have above average use or wear.   I am also planning to have special sales, and promos something along this line:  (Buy 3 books, get 1 free!).  Oh, and incidentally, we are a smoke free home.

I have literally thousands of books and  it will take me some time to get them all posted and cataloged.  Of course, I don't plan to post thousands of books, but will be posting books by the banker box full , hopefully each week.  So, be sure to keep checking back.

I am excited to share my treasures with you and hope they will bless you as much as they have blessed my family.

Please feel free to leave me any comments and I look forward to hearing back from you.

Books should be posting by this weekend,


Pam
