The cake for me are the two books I purchased for the students to use for their drug reports. We always have trouble finding enough information on mushrooms. After reading all of the information I could, I purchased three. One was great, the other two were very pro use of the mushrooms, included information on the use and growing. ARRRGH. J R.

As I go through the ones to weed it occurs to me that I have made some bad purchases in the past: Books in a series such as Countdown because some of them always disappear. Hardback books that were a bargain at $4.60. Not. Books that I purchased because the author was popular. Not all books by that author were good. Classics Illustrated versions. The teachers won't let the kids read them and the kids get confused about which AR test to take. Expensive binders of information that the teachers never used. What boo-boos have you made?
