TOG...what to buy?

[Pretty in Pink]

i want to order TOG year 1 and i'm trying to figure out how much i need to order, aside from the 4 basic units. i do NOT want to spend my days chasing down books at the library. i'd rather just spend the money and have the books on hand. besides i will be reusing them with our other children later on so i don't mind the expense as much.

what i'm wondering is, do you order all of the supplemental books, or do you pick and choose? the cost of the 4 units plus supplemental books, etc. was over 500.00. does that sound right? or would i be buying books that i don't need? now do you decide which ones to order?

I buy the books on the left hand page, which are all available at Bookshelf at Tapestry. I pick/choose from the supplemental books, if it looks like it would be better for my children, I'll get it but I'm much more concerned about the primary books.

Get MapAids too.

I also compare prices at other places of books that cost above $7-$9 each, sometimes I can find them $2 cheaper but Tapestry has been doing much better with their prices lately.

How exciting!

I buy all the literature books, and core history books... if I have extra I buy the rest of the suggested History and pick a few supplimental.

The books for history are topic specific and I have many books at home already that can suppliment anything I dont have..... also I dont worry about suplimental to much because the internet is so handy. :) For redesign anyway...
