calling a vendor,  that the TOD book is no longer in print.  This is incorrect.

    What about all the other books we'll need?

  First, check with your local library system.  They may have some of them, or could get them for you through interlibrary loan.  Next, ask friends.  Perhaps they could loan you their copies. Another great way to acquire books is to purchase them used.  A great place to start is http://www.vegsource.com/homeschool/    You might also do an internet search at http://www.google.com for "used homeschool curriculum."  Other great sources for necessary books, supplies, and websites with great information are listed below.  The Ingram family does not necessarily endorse each source listed here, nor do we consistently check each website or catalog for up-to-date information.
