My fellow readers in the US will probably remember fondly the days that your elementary school teachers sent home the Scholastic book order forms each month. The colorful, flimsy newsprint flyers offered four pages of age-appropriate books for cheaper than anything in the bookstore. Your teacher would collect the forms and the checks and send them in, then a few weeks later, lo and behold the brand-new books!
