Hi Folks,

A few last notes about our Shakespeare for the Ears collection,
and then we WILL shut up about it, I promise....

First of all, a couple notes from folks about this CD:

------------

"Hi Jim!  I looked at the Shakespeare site and wanted it,
but really wasn't sure about what these "new" readers
would sound like.  (My mom is a Drama Director and my
dad was in the film and radio business - did you ever
listen to Dr J. Vernon McGee? Well, my dad was Bob Smith,
the announcer for the first 30 some years.
With my background, my kids are use to hearing really
exciting narrations from me and unfortunately, they
tend to get bored with so-so reading.)  All that to say
that we just listened to the 'Midsummer's Night Dream'
and my kids and I loved it!  Easy listening in a
contemporary language.  Smooth voice, great editing -
it's hard to tell the difference between recording days -
overall, really good stuff!!! So, I'm off to buy the
whole thing!  Thank you so much for putting all this together.
I have a Special Needs Child and there is no way I can do
all the research, read the stories AND teach my kids all
their other studies.  I am struggling as it is, so this
is a great help to me and a fun learning experience for them.
Thank you!" -- Maggie

"I really like your CDs.  I just got the Shakespeare
in the mail and all looks good with that one......
It is incredible what you put on there for $19.00.
Thank you so much." -- Cheryl

(Thanks to EVERYONE for their kind words about this
collection... we are so glad to discover it has filled a
much-felt need, and is a resource that you can really use.)

Next, two important updates:

1) We have added another resource to the online resource "annex"
for the Shakespeare collection... if you've purchased the collection
already, you'll want to be sure to re-visit this page and
pick this up:

When we did our Shakespeare survey a few weeks ago,
we asked those families who already have studied and enjoy
his work what tips they would give to families new to the Bard's
plays. This new REPORT contains their replies on how they
got their kids truly excited & "hooked" on Shakespeare.
some wonderful ideas here, folks! These approaches have worked
for others -- so take your time going through these and glean
what you think may work for you in your situation.

(Again, those of you who have purchased this collection, just re-visit
the "annex" to pick up this extra helpful report. It is right at the
top of the page.)

2) Finally, a reminder... our introductory s a l e offer, which
yes, still includes the beloved Mystery CD... absolutely ends at
midnight on October 1st. After that, it's full price & no
Mystery CD, no exceptions. We don't send out emails on Sunday, so
this right here is your LAST warning to get it now or pay more
later, your choice.

Here's the link one last time, then we're done talking about this.
(hooray, they cheered)

Thanks again everyone, and we’ll see you next week with another
delightful “Living Book for the Ears” program!

Best Wishes,
The Erskine Family
