Lucie Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Hi Everybody! Im wondering if anyone can tell me where they buy their books from. I could do with buying a bundle range of books but dont really know where to start. Obviously we will have a library loan service on offer, (our children are 3-11), but would lie some that are ours. We dont need too many, I suppose i could get two/three different bundles which would cater for different ages. thanks lucie x
Guest Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 As I used to be on a tight budget I got many 'good' books from boot fairs, charity shops and even jumble sales. Parents often gave books as leaving presents when their child moved on to 'big school'. I also got books from preschools closing down, when I closed my preschool in December I sold over 300 books to other settings at a very reasonable price.(yes, I ended up with a very big library after 7 yrs of business). Ask your local LEA advisor if any settings are due to close. Other than above I would use Amazon for favourite authors such as Tony Ross series etc. I was also fortunate to receive a selection of books from Nursery World for 'letter of the week' prize (twice) Happy hunting.

Guest Wolfie Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Hi Lucie The Book People website often has "bundles" of suitable books at very reasonable prices. What sort of setting are you? I ask because the Book Ahead scheme might benefit you in the near future and save you spending a lot on your own stock? http://www.bookahead.org.uk/ Your local library should be contacting you reagrding loaning out a selection of books to you....
shazzam Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 we get some books from SCHOLASTIC. we joined the club, they send us leaflets for the parents to buy books and we get free ones depending on how much the parents spend.
