This is a fun page for our family to provide because we love to find bargains on books and educational materials! A family hobby is to collect quality used books from used books sales and rummage sales.
There are two parts to this page: CNS Materials and Used Books. We will be working to keep this page as current as possible, but please e-mail used book/material requests before mailing an order so we can verify the availability. Shipping information is provided in the notes at the beginning of each part.
Occasionally we get some great deals on new materials. Check current titles on the Super Bargains page.
Defective/Damaged
CNS MATERIALS
Notes:
1) All used items are sold at a 50% discount from the retail price (if the retail price is not listed, obtain it from the appropriate page on this website -- links are provided below).
2) Some reasons why an item would be available for a reduced price: light printing (but still readable), a crunched corner, a cover that does not pass inspection, a crooked right edge cut on a booklet, materials that have been damaged in shipping.
3) If more than one copy is available, the number of copies available is listed in parentheses at the end of the title.
4) You may add an item(s) from the CNS MATERIALS list to your order blank and still pay the low shipping rate of $2.00 per order.
5) Please clearly write the letter (D) after each title on the order blank.

USED BOOKS*
* DISCLAIMER
Members of our family chose each book listed below for one or more of a variety of reasons: We have read the book so we know we like it and want to pass it on, we have read other books by the author or in a series, it has been recommended by others, it is an old book, it is a classic, it is on a reading list, etc. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE HAVE NOT READ EVERY BOOK!
Notes:
1) Prices: Paperback books are $1.00 each and Hardcover books are $2.00 each unless a different price is printed in parentheses. If the word letters HD (which stands for HARDCOVER) is not present in the parentheses, it is a paperback book.
2) CNS offers a low shipping rate -- $2.00 per order. That basic shipping rate applies to Used Books, but an additional
$1.00 per book mailing rate is also necessary. For example, if you were to order one book from this Used Book section, you would pay $3.00 shipping; if you order two books, you pay $4.00 shipping, 3 books = $5.00 shipping. The CNS order blank has the $2.00 shipping printed on it. It also has an extra blank labeled Extra Shipping for Used Books; add the extra shipping of $1.00 for each used book on this line. If you are placing an order for any new CNS material(s), the $2.00 shipping rate does not have to be duplicated. For example, if you were to order a new study guide and one used
book, you would pay $3.00 shipping.
3) Please write the word USED after each title on the order blank.
4) If you are interested in knowing the condition of a book(s), send CNS an e-mail listing the title(s). Each book will be rated as follows:
EX = Excellent* (new condition -- you can’t tell it is a used book)
VG = Very Good* (almost new -- you can hardly tell that it is a used book)
GD = Good (you can tell it is a used book, but it is still in good condition)
US = Used (it is obviously a used book)
*I give books that are rated in Excellent or Very Good condition to my children as gifts.
