Classics: List # 1

You may notice that I have started a "Classics" category. This is just list 1 of many more to come. So when referring to this list or any other list when purchasing, please refer to the proper list, the reason being is because there will be other "list #1's" in other categories, such as Preschool Classics, or High School books...etc. So please be careful to refer to the correct list when making inquiries.

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!

List 2

Landmark Books

If you are new to Landmark Books, then you are missing out on a real treat. It's time I introduce you to them! The following description was found at Exodusbooks.com. Landmark Books info They have all the information you will need to know about each book. They are collectibles and much sought after. Be on the look out at your local library. Sadly, they are discarding these wonderful books. Whenever I find one, I hurriedly grab it. I know SOMEONE will want it! It is an EXCELLENT series of books to have in your home. They were printed when the high tide of patriotism was the order of the day in our country, before revisionism in American History took place.

"The Landmark Books are a series of non-fiction books published by Random House in the fifties and early sixties. Simply put, the Landmark series is the best collection of children's histories ever written. As a jacket blurb on an old edition stated, the reasons [for the series' popularity] are obvious: good writers and important and appealing subjects from America's past.

Writers in the Landmark series include such notable authors as:

Other writers in the series, though less well known, are generally first-rate." —Kathy Artner, Reader's Guide to American History.

Here is a good look at the spines, like I said, be on the look out for these books. You might find one of the really RARE ones. As I find them , I snatch them up to share with others. I am not sure how many I own. I don't have the complete set... there are over 100, but I have been collecting them for about 20 years now. Some are cloth bound as you see here. Others have nice dust jackets...those are SO cool to find! Others have nice picture covers such as the Lawrence of Arabia book below.

Here is a better look at the Landmark logo.

There are Landmarks that are Biographies, such as this one. Lawrence of Arabia was recently in the news because the actor, Omar Sharif recently passed away!

There are Landmarks on People, places, events, states, battles, etc. etc.!!

After working on this post, I decided to go out to the ware house and look for all of my Landmarks to see how many I actually have....I was a bit surprised....here is one "wall of Landmarks..."

Here is wall # 2 of my Land Mark Books. I have counted 106. I wanted to see how many doubles I had so that I could offer them here. I was really disappointed. I only have 3 to offer. I hope that you will take advantage of these titles. You can research them and find them to be hard to come by and a bit pricey, they have definitely gotten to the "collectible" status.

I wondered how prevalent they were to find these days. I know the libraries started to discard them years ago...but a few may still be found on the shelves at your local library. Check it out and see. I went on a scouting outing for 2 days, visiting many, many thrift stores in several different counties...and I only found 1...and YAY! It was a title I didn't have. Here is the real kicker. I found it at a Christian thrift store. The cashier said since it was a children's book, it would be $.10! Yes, ten cents! But wait!!!! There is more!!!! The cashier said that if I would quote a Bible verse it would be half off! I walked out of the store with my Landmark for 5 cents. So people, keep an eye out! There may still be some to be had at a steal like I found.

Grand total : 5 cents

Here are the 3 Landmarks I have for sale:

Rough copy: Heroines of the Early West: $4.00 + shipping

Heroines of the Early West: $6.00+ shipping

Gettysburg: $6.00 + shipping

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!
