I'd love to see Classical Writing.

Bummer I don't live near some of y'all - I have LOF Fractions, Rainbow Science, the new edition of MFW ECC, and some others. LOL.

I definitely recommend the conferences - I was able to stop by the DIVE booth and thumb through the stuff and watch some of it. Heck I even had a question and the lady called up the author. We are going that route for sure.

I'd like to see :

Winter Promise's CAW, AS1 & 2, and AC1 & 2

However, I won't roll those dice in terms of ordering them to preview. Wish I could see them at a convention...

I would love to have Live Ed, Christopherus, and Oak Meadow all grades all together so I could pick and choose.

I would also like to have all of the elementary Latin programs laid out to compare.

All levels of MUS, RightStart, Miquon, Singapore... all laid out side by side.

Classical music... stumped here

I think that's it.

I did, but thanks for the reminder. Amazon also has them for sale, so that would be a fairly easy return in they didn't work.

Default Would love to see...

Horrible Histories
Murderous Maths
Science/Geography titles in these series

There are so many titles in these series, and my kids (well, the 4 boys) love the handful of history ones we have.

Would just love to flip through them all so I could pick and choose my favorites! I think it's awesome my boys read these for FUN!
