Anything Goes on Monday: Ancient Greek Studies Giveaway






It's been far to long since I had a giveaway. I wasn't able to keep up with life over the summer and have a giveaway too, so I had to let it go by the wayside. Now that we are back in school mode, I am going through books again, and have found STACKS AND STACKS of books that we are no longer using.


Yes, it has taken me weeks to figure this out. I am slow, organization is not my strong suit. Anyway, I have a MOTHERLODE of Greek study books to dispose of and rather than draw it out for weeks on end I have decided to give them all away in one giveaway.


Here we go!
 

This giveaway includes the following titles:

The Children's Homer by Padraic Colum
The Golden Fleece by Patriaic Colum
The Buried City of Pompeii by Shelly Tanaka
The Wooden Horse: The Fall of Troy by I.M. Richardson
Science in Ancient Greece by Kathlyn Gay
A Child's History of Art and Architecture by V.M. Hillyer and E.G. Huey
Usborne Book of Religions
The Ancient Greek Olympics by Richard Woff
The Greenleaf Guide to Famous Men of Greece by Cyndy Shearer
Famous Men of Greece by Poland and Haaren updated by Rob and Cyndy Shearer
In Search of Troy by Giovanni Caselli
Odysseus and the Magic of Circe: Tales of the Odyssey by I.M. Richardson
The Usborne Illustrated World History: The Greeks
The Usborne Internet-Linked Encyclopedia of Ancient Greece

All books are in good condition from a non-smoking home. These are slightly older copies, which is a good thing, you don't have to worry about them being aligned with the Common Core.

I count many of these books as some of our all time favorites.
My personal favorite selections include The Search of Troy and the Greek Olympics. Some of them may be hard to find books or even out of print. I know I looked for a long time for the History of Architecture book.

Retail value of these books is probably about $120.00 new.

Here's how the giveaway works:

1. These books will be shipped to your doorstep via media mail. 
2. The winner for the giveaway will be selected by Random number generator on Monday, September 30th.
3. Books will be shipped upon confirmation of winner's acceptance. Be sure to leave an email address where you can be contacted! I have had several winners without contact information in the past, you don't want to miss out!
4. Feel free to pass on this promotion to friends and family. The more people I have to choose from the more fun it is! I love giving away things to people who need them!
5. Leave me a comment, and like Designers Sweet Spot on Facebook to register!

Best of luck to all!
