On the tenth day of giveaway -- a double whammy!

Business first. The winner of Weapons of Mass Instruction is...

Jean!

Congratulations! Send your mailing addy to deborah at 2ds dot org (if you haven't already -- I'm keeping track on paper, but am an airhead in person).

This next one is a two-books-in-one giveaway. The books can technically be read and utilized separately, but it seems a shame to break what is essentially a pair. The books are a hardcover copy of A Thomas Jefferson Education, by Oliver Van DeMille, and a paperback edition of A Thomas Jefferson Education Home Companion, by Oliver DeMille, Rachel DeMille, and Diann Jeppson.

A friend of mine gave me these -- not as a wrap-it-up-with-a-bow kind of gift, but just because she thought I might be interested. When I admitted that I had my own copies, she made no move to take these back. I believe her words were something along the lines of my being able to read them twice now. I suggested instead that I could find a good home for them among the SHM crowd, and she looked relieved. As so many of us often do, she was trying to clear off her shelves a bit, and really didn't want to bring these back home.

The DeMilles are not secular, and these books make mention of religion. They also subscribe to some ideas that I don't agree with: about women, about education, about life and meaning.

That said, these books have some good ideas and (more important to me) some great book lists. They're in good (not new) condition.  

Post here for a chance at winning. Double chance if you send me a link to a new posting you made about any aspect of SHM. Triple shot at winning if you mention that we need articles.

Good luck!
