My bookshelves are overflowing with books – I am a self-proclaimed bookaholic, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. When I find quality books, I want to buy them. I love it when I can find quality books in electronic form, and Heritage History provides just that. The mission of Heritage History is to make old-fashioned history books, written for the enjoyment of young people, easily available. Mission accomplished.

Love the quality of the books.
Love that this can be used for kids of all ages (the study guide offers tips/suggestions for various ages).
LOVE the value! $24.99 is a bargain for everything that’s included on the CD.
Love the Battle Dictionary – what a great resource!
I was impressed by the ease of use and the ease of loading these books on my iPad and Kindle.
The girls loved the maps, and after our trip last year to Italy they were especially interested in looking at the places we’d visited.
