Several days ago I sent out an inquiry about my concern in the changes to the timing of the Nutmeg books. Many thanks to all of you who responded.

Of the 12 people who answered, 3 thought the change would be a positive one, while 9 expressed the same concerns I had regarding lack of money to purchase books so late in the school year, and lack of time to booktalk them prior to the end of the school year.

As the change affects so many of us, publishers, distributors, and authors may not be happy that schools like mine that previously purchased 15 copies of each title (300 copies) will now purchase only 1 copy of each title (20 copies).

Thanks again for your comments,
