Home-schooling resources for sale:

(1) Value Tales.  Stories about real people whose lives convey messages
of moral and personal values.  Each book focuses on one value as
exemplified by one person--e.g., "The Value of Compassion" is about
Florence Nightingale, "The Value of Humor" is about Will Rogers, and so
on.  Hardcover, full-color, large format.  Kids love them.  These books
go for about $8 each by mail-order; I'm willing to part with a set of
27 for only $100.

(2) My Bible Friends, by Etta Degering.  Set of five hardcover,
full-color books of stories about characters from the Old and New
Testaments.  Those who are sensitive to denominational distinctives may
discern a slight Adventist slant to some of the stories; but it's hardly
enough for an adult to notice, much less the kids.  Beautifully
illustrated, very popular (at least with my son and his friends).
Asking $25 for the set.

(3) Lands and Peoples.  Six-volume library set published by Grolier,
covering the entire world as of 1981.  Color pictures, maps,
statistics, flags, history, and culture of just about every country in
the world.  Excellent for area studies or reference.  Slightly used but
still in good condition.  Asking $25 for the set.

(4) Volume Library.  Actually two volumes, totalling about 2500 pages.
Twenty-six sections cover Animals, Art, Astronomy, Business, Computers,
Government, Health, Technology, Language, Literature, Math, History,
Geography, Sports, Religion, Philosophy, and the Sciences, plus an
Atlas and comprehensive Index.  Published 1987 for around $120, asking
$45.

(5) The Annals of America.  Eighteen thick hardcover volumes containing
extracts from actual historical documents--from Columbus' 1493 letter
describing the discovery of the New World through Martin Luther King's
last essay on nonviolence in 1968.  All in excellent condition.  Also
includes two "conspectus" volumes (summaries and indexes), one of which
has minor water damage.  Asking $80 for the set.

(6) Family Encyclopedia of American History.  Hardcover, 1300 pp.
Slight waterstains on edges.  $15.

(7) Webster's New World Dictionary and Student Handbook, Young People's
Edition.  1973 edition.  Hardcover, 800 pp.  $8.

(8) Match-A-Fact card game set for division drill.  $5.

(9) Bible Stories For Young People.  1938 edition, 124 pp., hardcover,
oversized, still in good condition.  Nice pictures.  $5.

If you buy more than one item, prices are lower.  If you can't come to
Boulder and pick it up, you pay postage.  (In the case of some of the
large, heavy sets, postage could be substantial.)
