If you have this book did you get the ebook or print version? I want the ebook because I feel as if we have wasted a lot of time not doing history and I want to start tomorrow, but the printed one may be easier to use…anyone wanna weigh in?
I like the print book because I add notes next to the book titles:
O-own
L- library owns
ILL- interlibrary loan
star – previewed, excellent
No- previewed, didn’t like
I also add other titles that I’ve found or that I own and want to remember to use.
Great system Jenny! I have the print version simply bc I found it used. I find I get the e-versions myself when I’m super anxious to get started right away!
I bought the “Real” book – paper. I also took it to the printer and had them spiral bind it….I also typed up a form so that I could add books that we had found and liked and I had the printer copy those forms and put them in the back — so all my book lists are in the same place.
Sarah – the real book is $30.95 and the ebook is $20.95 on their website.
Shannon – I like ebooks that are small enough to print – like the SCM books. And I love, love the immediate gratification of having them right away.
Thank you for responding! I am going to go with the ebook! I will save $16 which I can put toward getting another toner cartridge but at least I can start right away!
What a great post, I was just thinking about this book! Where did you find it to order online?

I make similar notes and I include whether or not a book is available as an audio book, too.
@Jackie – It is from Nothing New Press and the link above takes you directly to it. 😉
I have the printed version. I think it’s worth full price and more!
I prefer books over e-books because (for me) the price difference is worth it. I don’t want to have to schedule time to print it out, put it together, etc.
I do cut off spines to have them spiral bound…this one is a good candidate, but I haven’t done that, yet. I do like the idea of being able to add your own lists to it! It would be great if pro-click had a spine that was large enough to continue adding to it. I suppose the various sections might be broken down into separate pro-click spines….hmmmmm.
LOL, Tailormade! I am with you on the spiral bound thing! My daughters know that every time we get a new book, we head to Office Max to have the spine cut and bound. Love it!

TailorMade – I didn’t think of having the different sections bound separately — that sounds very organized! I LOVE pretending I’m organized! *L*
Actually, though, to think it through – All Through the Ages doesn’t have good breaks between sections – some end at a half page and the next section starts that bottom half page. I guess you could photo copy those pages (?) so that you could separate the sections.
I’m really glad I added the extra pages to the back of mine – I have columns for the time period, the age group (or grade level group), the title, the author and the library’s call number (or I write in that it’s ours). I have added about 10 books that we really liked, but weren’t in the book originally – and I’ve only had the book for about 6 months.
;0) Karen, I meant sections like History, Science, Arts, Geography,….I’m thinking I need to pull it off the shelf and double check my idea. I’m suddenly in a small project mindset. Heh.
Karen, want to share the additional books you’ve added in? I’m doing American History with my 7yo sons and have really enjoyed pulling from all the sources to find the books we read. I’d love to hear of the ones you felt were extra special!
George Washington Wasn’t Always Old – by Fleming
George Washington’s Socks – Woodruff
Empress of All Russia – by Noble (my daughter actually lost interest in this one, but I thought I’d note it to try next time around in this time period.)
Gregor Mendel: THe Friar who Grew Peas by Bardoe
The Value of Believing in Yourself: The Story of Louis Pasteur – by Johnson
The Bravest Woman in America – by Moss
Samuel F.B. Morse – by Latham
The Story of Alexander Graham Bell – by Davidson
Some of these authors are included in the All Through the Ages book, just not these particular titles.
Some of these are picture books (Bravest Woman & Gregor Mendel) – but in my opinion, they’re worthy of “Living Book Status” for the ideas they portray and the manner in which those ideas are portrayed.
The only if-y books on the my list is the Empress of All Russia (by Iris Noble) because I didn’t read it myself; and the Value of Believing in Yourself – it’s got cartoon-type pictures. But my girls really enjoyed it and talked about it a lot after we read it, so I included it.
I guess the George Washington books could be if-y, too, but my oldest really enjoyed them – enough to do a narration for our homeschool group on one and to read the other one a second time.
