The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
PREFACE:
It is not because I know so much of books, but because I know so little, it is because I have spent many years and hundreds of dollars to get a small knowledge of books, where, by taking a direct road I might have had a much larger knowledge at less expense, that I offer the results of my twenty years' work in the school-room to the public.
I have tried to make my work so broad that it may meet the needs of every class of readers, broad enough to answer all questions asked me in the many letters I receive asking advice in the selection of books for school and home libraries.
And more especially have I tried to make it an exposition of a more profitable use of books in the school-room than the cramming system of education recognizes.
