Does anyone know where I can see some? Might anyone be willing to scan in a few?

I own this and we are going through it if you have more specific questions.

Sure. Let me know if it is not what you need and I can try and work my scanner. :P

I do have questions, if you don't mind.

I'm looking just at Calendar Quest, thinking of it as supplementary reading for my eight-year-old. It looks like there's a lot of information in the IG. Do you have your children read that too? Read it aloud to them? Can Calendar Quest stand on it's own?

Rose, I have used Calendar Quest by itself with my dds. I bought it at a convention without any of the other Brimwood materials and we read it in the summer after completing our first round of history. It is a fun book all by itself and we enjoyed it. I cannot comment on how much more you would get by combining it with the other materials, since I haven't even looked over them much. But, I can recommend the book as a fun and quick summary of world history and a nice overview of how our calendar came into being.
