man i loved that feeling of when the teacher was unboxing the goods and laying them out in organized piles. I would always get a garfield comic strip book and a couple others. man that feeling of getting a new book was great. even the smell of the book was awesome. :drool:
 
i remember.. i just can't remember the names of the books i used to get :(

i remember 1.. Jeremy Thatcher the dragon hatcher..

i must have read it 10 times and i hated to read. Good book!!

I loved circling books I wanted out of the little paper catalog they gave out. To this day I still circle things I want out of catalogs.

chikken, it was probably scholastic. when i was a teacher a few years ago, we got those thin paper book orders. i was nostalgic every time i opened them, and every time i got the order back in the box. it was awesome, and i ordered books every time. :D

I loved those

I liked how the Garfield books said "special school book sale" or something like that printed in tiny letters on the back cover

I had pretty much every Garfield book ever printed back then.

Choose your own Adventures were totally awesome. I had the entire series. And the Lone Wolf fantasy variants were cool too. The only hard part was using your fingers to mark 8 different book sections in case you needed to backtrack. :fly:
 
I just found one of my old Choose Your Own Adventure books last week! I had such a good time reading through it again. I even noticed where I marked the path I took with pencil dots back in the day.

I just read somewhere the other day that they are bringing those books back.
