Our new look
We are four years old and want to celebrate!  With the help of artists Dianne McMillan Brannen and Horst Weber, consultant Nancy Ward Wysinger and e-interchange Director Robert "Skip" Skipper we have a whole new look and ease of navigation. Our new look includes new colors, products and services to show our appreciation and respect for our customers and the world we share.

We've added a shopping cart
Now, customers can shop online with ease and peace of mind.  With the help of PayPal, an eBay Company, our individual and business customers can shop online securely, easily and quickly with your Visa, MasterCard or American Express card.

Customer Appreciation - exclusive discounts
We appreciate our customers and are finding ways to express this appreciation.  To begin, we have teamed up with e-interchange to bring our valued customers e-mail-only exclusive customer special offers.  All of our customers with a registered email address will be the first to receive announcements of new products and services offered at exclusive customer discounts.  These specials will offer our valued customers early notice and the lowest prices offered at that time..  Keep your eye out for your first customer appreciation email offer later this month.

We've expanded our product line
Our unique selection of recommended books and gifts just got bigger and better.  We've continued to search for and find the best books to enhance cultural awareness, self-esteem and the joy of the reading experience.

We're now offering books by noted authors with Harper Collins, Scholastic, Penguin Group, and Dorling Kindersley publishers. We continue to offer quality books for teachers and parents-as-teachers from Williamson Publishers and Dorling Kindersley.

Online invoicing and payment option
Now, with Intuit and QuickBooks we are able to offer those of you who shop with us and receive invoices the ease of receiving and paying your invoice online with a Visa, MasterCard or American Express card.  This service is especially selected for teachers, librarians and our business partners.

Community Outreach - a.k.a. Caring and Sharing™
We are eager to share what we have learned and gained in our years of business.  We have created a new section on our web site called Caring and Sharing.  In this section you will find non-profit wish lists, tips for hosting a book fair or home show as a fundraiser, and our efforts to preserve and protect our environment.

"Thus the Master is available to all people and doesn't reject anyone.  He is ready to use all situations and doesn't waste anything.  This is called embodying the light."

A New English Version, Tao Te Ching
by Stephen Mitchell

Thoughts from the founder:

Today I thought,
"I would like my daughter to get her
'Ph.D.'
To me this means life experiences that teach her peace, harmony and devotion.

That is to say, peace within her heart and mind, harmony with herself and the world around her, and devotion to her spirit and a higher purpose. In short, keeping her close to the light with which she was born and which will guide her through this life and beyond.

K. McMillan
President,
