Homeschooling Books

Again -- up for grabs.  Unless noted all are paperback books.  Sorry there are not more annotations, but I have a lot going on this morning...  Feel free to ask me for more info about any of them.

(There may be more, but I'll make a separate post if this is the case. These were all in one box.)



Back issues of Growing Without Schooling, Pennsylvania Homeschoolers, and a few other related
  items; 50+ issues/items including several "recommended books" lists; mostly mid- to late-90's
  and a few from early 2000's.  They are in two magazine holders :-) )
