How To Get Over 1,000
All-Time Classic
Best Selling Books
For Less Than 5 Cents Each!!
At last, you can have a huge collection of the world's greatest books,
stories, plays and poems for less than 5c each!!!
This is an entertaining and educational resource that every home should
have, and it makes a perfect gift, particularly for children and grandchildren.
The new, easy-to-use "All-Time Classic Best
Sellers" CD-Rom contains over 1,000 unabridged and original versions
of classic books, short stories, plays and poems in electronic text (e-text)
format.
Many of the books are on the current high school recommended reading
list and all of them are titles that everyone would be proud to own. Here's
a very small sample:
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
A Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson
You save money. The disk has more than 1,000 best-selling books,
stories, plays and poems for less than 5c each! If you were to buy the
hard copy versions of these, you would pay at least 5,000.00!!!
You save space. No book shelves required. No clutter or mess.
You save time. Each book, story, play or poem can be found quickly
and easily -- no searching shelves or looking through storage boxes. No
trips to the local library and no chance that someone else has borrowed
the book you want!
You can choose how you want to read the book: on screen, or
printed out.
You can electronically search for certain key words and/or passages
for study purposes.
You can encourage your children to read. It's sometimes hard
to get them to read the kind of stories you enjoyed as a child but these
days they're more likely to read them if they are on the computer than
in hard copy.
You can create gifts for friends and relatives. Use the text
from short stories and fairy tales and lay it out nicely on pages leaving
space for drawings and pictures. Print out the pages and let your children
use their imaginations to illustrate the pages. Add your own front cover
and type in the child's name eg, "Illustrated by Johnny Smith".
Have the cover laminated and the book spiral bound. It's a great gift
idea for birthdays or Christmas.
You can create custom versions of the books using the addition
of clip art, different fonts or change the names of the main characters
to those of your children or friends. This is another excellent gift idea
and is a wonderfully stimulating activity for children it encourages them
to read and understand the stories.
You get wide compatiblity -- the CD-Rom is IBM format which
can also be accessed by newer model Macs. Minimum systems requirement:
IBM Compatible 386, Win 3.x, 4Mb RAM, CD-Rom drive.
You can even use the Text Reader software that comes with most multi-media
PC's to sit back, relax and have the books read to you!
For Teachers:
You can teach comparative writing styles by electronically searching
for the same key words or phrases across different authors. You can also
compare paragraph length, chapter length, introductions and titles.
You can allow students to choose their own book, story, play or
poem to study. There's over 1,000 to choose from so they can't complain
about the materials chosen.
You can print out sections of a play or novel and assign each
student a part/character. The students must memorize their parts and give
a mini play to the class.
You can create class projects. Use the text from short stories
and fairy tales and have the students lay it out nicely on pages leaving
space for drawings and pictures. Print out the pages and let your students
use their imaginations to illustrate the pages. Add a front cover and have
students add their name eg, "Illustrated by Johnny Smith". Have
the cover laminated and the book spiral bound.
You can use the above idea as a school fundraiser. You could
have a whole range of short stories and fairy tales illustrated by students
for sale at a school fete.

What Other Are Saying . . .
"Thanks for sending me this GREAT CD.
I've used the incredible resources on All-Time Classic Best Sellers
in the classroom and I also print out a few chapters of a book per day,
to read on the train. I use my scrap paper, so it's good for recycling
and even at a book a week, it'll take me 20 years to read everything on
the CD!!"
