"The titles we have chosen are books that are readily available at most bookstores. It may be helpful to call a bookstore in advance to inquire about a particular title. Most stores will order the books for you if they do not have one in stock. If you do not want to purchase a new book, McKay's used bookstore is a good option. If you have any other questions feel free to contact Seymour Middle." |
