[CALIBK12] More on the HIT: Middle School "Standard"Reference/Nonfictionpurchases

[Thomas Nixon]

*	AND, have you seen the hot, cheap, new Marshall Cavendish
databases? They range from $231 to $263 and cover topics like Early Life
in Ancient Civilizations. The price is for school and home access, for
THREE YEARS.  Cannot beat this price!

Thank you for the extra information, Margaret. It's very helpful! By the way, folks, if you ever want to learn everything there is to know about reference and publishers, grab Margaret Baker and walk the floor with her at CSLA. I did this last time. Oh my.

As it happens, I have purchased three of the Marshall Cavendish databases (Exploring Life Science, Exploring Earth & Space Science, Exploring the Middle Ages) and they are wonderful! I have already been training students how to use them and they really like them. I just heard from publisher's rep extraordinaire, Kathy O'Kane, that the U.S. History one will be available beginning in July. I ordered that this week.

Here's a secret: Yes, you can get that for three years. However, you can also get it for five years for not much more money. That includes all updates and home access as well. I went with five years on all four databases because I have the money now and who knows what the future holds.
