[MOSAIC] books as presents

[Bill Roberts]

Actrually, if you can find older editions of the books from the mid ;70's or 
'80's, they will last longer....better made.  Modern books don't hold up to 
many readings...


>> You might also try Scholastic and similar places online....they give bulk
>> discounts so you can buy 25 or 30 brand new books for $2 or $3 each....

> Just a comment:  I have found that the bulk discount books that Scholastic
>> sells are very cheaply put together.  The pages slide out of the middle 
>> the
>> first time the kids open the books wide.  I have found that if I cover 
>> the
>> books with clear contact paper and use a strip of book tape inside the 
>> front
>> and back cover where the beginning of the gluing starts, usually the 
>> first
>> page or second page in, they hold together a lot longer.  They will last
>> years instead on months this way.

>    even more expensive.
