Re: [vernalpool] 5th-8th grade curricula?

The Vernal Pool Association is pleased to offer a deeply discounted price
on bulk orders ($5 each for 20 or more) of field guides to educators. Home
schoolers are more than welcome to get in on the deal, though you may want
to work with a network to get up to the minimum order eligible for the
discount.

Books sold at this educational discount aren't for resale, but can be
distributed to educators participating in programs.

Check out http://vernalpool.org/vernal_1.htm for details.
