Lots of lovely reading time

30 November 2009

Season's Greetings
 
We wish you a wonderful festive season, a peaceful family holiday interspersed with rowdy board games and lots of lovely reading time!
 

Christmas Delivery

 
To guarantee delivery of books we might not have in stock, please place all Christmas orders by Monday 7 December. Audio books take much longer, so in that case you might have to pick an alternative title. We'll always confirm your order within 48 hours.

Of course, we also have a lot of titles in stock and can therefore supply last-minute gifts. Allow five working days for delivery on those or enquire about special postage options. 

Choose the free gift-wrapping option and we'll wrap your gifts beautifully and add a gift card with your message.

Gift Bundles

We've compiled several lovely book bundles offering substantial savings on books for all ages. At the time of writing we have these in stock and can get them to you within a week at the most.  If there is a big rush for these bundles, we might have to order more in, pushing delivery time to two weeks.
Barefoot Books - Around the World

For enquiring minds...

Not many reviews this month, but we had to tell you about DK's latest masterpiece: The Gadget Book and How Really Cool Stuff Works.

A look at what's inside your games console, the life of a Wi-Fi pet rabbit, how a special camera lets you see in the dark, and the wonder of virtual online worlds all in one glossy paged book with huge pictures so you can see exactly how your new gadgets really work.

Slightly out-of-the-ordinary homeschool tool. A wonderful way to cover some Science without making it too obvious.  LOOK INSIDE!

This will make a great gift for a curious pre-teen to early teen, but will be enjoyed just as much by parents and older siblings.

 The Gadget Book

Lenticular cover, X-ray, microscopic and cut-away views of all the latest technology.

Music

We have 2 copies of each of these Putumayo World Music CDs in stock at the moment. We sell these for just $24.95 compared to the $29.95 or more you'll pay at most Australian retailers. If you have not experienced Putumayo yet, have a listen.
           

 Preparing for the new school year

We'll be working all the way through January, so just ask if you want information.

Remember that we do not keep all titles in stock at all times, so to be on the safe side, please order your core materials two weeks before you plan to start your school term.

We can supply The Well-Trained Mind books (The Story of the World, First Language Lessons, Writing with Ease and others), Saxon Homeschool Math kits and components, as well as many other wonderful homeschool resources.

Website of the Month   

  

If you're looking for a quirky wearable gift for a baby or toddler, have a look at the first completed section of Giraffe Bazaar, a new site we've been putting together.  Unfortunately the rest of that site is still in the development stage as Leatherwood Books keeps us busy, but the shoes, hats and socks are very cute and we have them in stock.

As always we enjoy helping you find books, so just ask if you need help to track down something.

 

Peace, joy and happy reading!
