Most of the links above are linked to those companies' pages. The Peace Hill Press links are supposed to be affiliate links, but their links are a bit more confusing for me to do properly than Amazon's, and I may have done them wrong. The Amazon.com links for the books by the authors of Well Trained Mind are below. If you are considering purchasing the Activity Guide for Story of the World I would recommend getting the pdf file which is only available through Peace Hill Press' website. I got the book and that is a LOT of scanning to do! You can also purchase just the reproducible/consumable pages from them as well.
