BEST BOOK IN ITS GENRE--IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE,
By A Customer
This review is from: Unbelievably Good Deals That You Absolutely Can't Get Unless You're a Teacher (Paperback)
In reaction to the "waste of money" review, I feel sad that teacher did not glean the value of this book. It's not just for free catalogs, but an inside look into the donations industry. A wealth of addresses and numbers are proved to obtain free materials which are abundant. Further, IDEAS are TAUGHT; how to bring in community leaders to speak for free, how to get an author to speak to your class, how to get plants and films and furniture, and food for activities from local, state, national, global corporations. I've personally had changes to my classes that could never before afford. And I took a vacation to Italy because *I stopped spending my own money on my classroom*. Moreover, I tapped people in the community who want to make a difference, and involved others. The essay on making a better world is idealistic--and real. --D.M.

This review is from: Unbelievably Good Deals That You Absolutely Can't Get Unless You're a Teacher (Paperback)
Big disappointment. There are no"incredible" offers in this book. It was a complete waste of money. You don't need to buy a book to request catalogs. Companies willingly send catalogs--I certainly don't need this book to tell me where to request a "free" catalog.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Not worth buying.,

This book has a few good ideas... but completely not what I was expecting. The content of the book really does not fit the title.
