REF, MID: American History textbook feedback

[Joanne Sullivan <joanne@SHORE.NET>]

Dear LM_NET,

I have spoken with Glencoe-McGraw-Hill, dutifully joined new listservs,
chatrooms, searched the WWW and, alas, I am humbled. I have been unable to
find any reviews or curriculum committee or teacher feedback on the new
textbook which our American History textbook selections committee has
recommended to administration. Deadline has been extended. (Oh, good,
now I have more time to search evenings on the Web. :-(.

Any clues out thar'?

Earlier, I wrote:

...I have been trying for several days to find a review or feedback from
several people on American History, Multimedia Edition , a 2-volume set
(includes two books plus CD ROM) put out by Glencoe-McGraw-Hill.

Individual titles of set are:
_American History:The Early Years to 1877, Multimedia Edition_
ISBN:0-02-822313-6

_American History:The Modern Era Since 1865, Multimedia Edition_
ISBN:0-02-822366-7

I have searched the WWW, tried Marketing
and Sales at publisher, Natl Council for Social Studies in Wash DC, and
am still coming up empty. Copyright date: 1997, but it was
sold last summer and so some schools have used by now.

Tia.
