This is a very good hearted down to earth book about life. The great blessing we had and did not know just how valuable a loving family and friends are to our way of growing. Today we take it all for granted. There's no RESPECT for Learning are Life. Ms. A. S. Williams

I think that this book is real interesting because my teacher had introduced this to to my class and I. It is a very terrific book, thanks to Mr. Taulbert.

NOTES ON SHIPPING: All Items ship from Canada via Canada Post.

U.S. Customers: Airmail options only. Surface mail has been discontinued. Expedited option is Tracked Packet or Expedited Parcel.
Canadian Customers: due to Canada Post's excessive charges, shipping within Canada has gotten quite expensive. Prices don't increase dramatically with size and weight, so multiple items in the same order can be more cost effective. Also, items which can ship via letter mail will reduce shipping costs considerably. Feel free to inquire.
International/Overseas (non-U.S.) Customers - Please Note: Due to recent extremely slow deliveries and customer complaints for overseas surface mail, I have had to switch shipping options to the more expensive tracked/insured option. The lower priced surface mail or airmail options may be available for lower priced items. Please inquire. Also, we cannot be held responsible for items lost in shipment if you have not chosen the tracked/insured method.
Our Shipping estimates are based on an average sized book, weighing up to 500 grams (or approx. 18 oz.) and your actual shipping cost may vary. If your book is small or very light (i.e. a small paperback), shipping will be reduced.
If your order is heavy (over 500 grams) or oversized, we will contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.
