In this day of hard-to-compete-against large chains and giant on-line
corporations, it is all too common to hear about another independent
bookseller closing its doors. When Holt Associates decided they
needed more time to focus on publishing Growing Without Schooling
magazine, speaking at conferences, providing homeschooling
consultations, and publishing books, they decided to look for an
alternative to closing their twenty-year-old John Holt's
Bookstore.

We are pleased to announce that the John Holt's Bookstore
operations have been sold to FUN Books effective Aug 1, 2001.

This arrangement is a natural fit for both our companies as over the
years we have developed an excellent relationship and found that we
share a similar philosophy. You can now look to FUN Books for the
best selections from the John Holt's Bookstore, as well as the
many other titles we have available. The staff at Holt Associates
will continue to provide reviews and book recommendations that FUN
Books will use to make sure we have the "latest and greatest"
books available for you.

If you recently placed an order with John Holt's Bookstore, your
order will now be filled by FUN Books and may already be on its way
to you! You can place new orders many ways. Order on-line with our
secure shopping cart at http://www.FUN-Books.com, call or fax orders
toll-free to 888 FUN-7020, or e-mail orders to orders@...
You can even mail orders to FUN Books, 1688 Belhaven Woods Ct,
Pasadena, MD, 21122-3727.
