Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

How soon should I order my books?

All three books from the Presidents, Poems, & Pictures—Oh, My! curriculum can be purchased at thebookpatch.com for an extremely affordable price. Low consumer prices and great quality are among the reasons why I chose this printing site for my self-published project. Please, please, PLEASE plan to order books well ahead of time because it may take TWO WEEKS or longer to receive them! My experience has been that paying for expedited shipping WILL NOT hasten the time it takes for the printing staff to actually print and mail your order!

 

​

Won’t the Teacher’s Manual and Student Workbook be obsolete with each new president?

 

I am delighted to provide FREE files for future presidents as they are elected for teachers and students who are interested in keeping their purchased books up-to-date!  Each file will contain four pages: 

  • The new president’s page for the Teacher’s Manual

  • The new president’s page for the Student Workbook

  • A page with the full-color clip art needed to complete the Student Workbook page, and

  • A list of edits for the Teacher Manual to make it current. 

 

These files can be accessed and downloaded from the website’s tab titled “New President Pages” and then printed off on your own printer.  Although I will offer updated versions of all three books within the curriculum after each election for new purchasers, I don’t want YOU to have to buy it again once you’ve already bought it!

 

 

Can the Student Workbook be rebound once it is finished in order to make it more durable?

​

Yes!  It is true that, because the thickness of the Student Workbook increases as items are taped and pasted into it, the spiral-binding that looks very nice to begin with becomes a bit tight in the end.  If you are unhappy with the finished Student Workbook, there is an easy solution.  You can simply cut the top and bottom off of the spiral-binding and twirl it out from among the pages of the Student Workbook (shown below).  Then, the pages can be 3-hole-punched and inserted into a plastic 3-ring binder or an expandable paperboard binder of your choice. Three inexpensive options can be seen in the photo below.  Rebinding the Student Workbook in this way will also make it easy to add new pages in order to keep your workbook current as new presidents are elected!

Can I get a refund from thebookpatch.com for an extra book I ordered but don’t need?

 

Because thebookpatch.com is a “print on demand” supplier, they only print books when they are purchased.  Therefore, please consider carefully how many books you need before placing your order!  To view the site’s policy re: returns & refunds, please scroll to the bottom of thebookpatch.com site and click on “Pricing & Shipping” followed by “Return Policy”.

 

 

Can I get a refund for unused curriculum from the author since I don’t like the content?

 

I believe that the book synopses and sample pages of the curriculum posted on this website and thebookpatch.com, including a comprehensive Table of Contents and extensive Curriculum Overview, is more than enough information to help prospective buyers decide whether or not it’s worth buying.  Therefore, I will not be offering refunds for individuals who simply don’t care for the content or formatting of the material.  This is especially true because ALL profit that I make from its sales will be donated to charitable organizations that promote childhood learning.
