Should I Purchase this Version of the Teacher’s Guide?

Which edition or reprinted version of the The Teacher’s Guide should you purchase?

In short, I’m not completely sure yet.

I bought two originals. One I bought off of Ebay and one off of Antiqbook.com. The first one I bought was the 14th edition. The most recent one I bought was the 31st edition. I’m not certain yet how many editions there are total.

There are clear differences between the editions I have, but much of the content is the same. It’s apparent Mrs. Curwen rearranged and shifted lesson content a couple of times, but I don’t see any huge change in philosophy or method between the two books. (yet!)

I recently purchased the one pictured above off of Amazon. This is a reprint: https://amzn.to/2XDik4C

Since this book is a print on demand purchase, it took over a month for me to receive the book after ordering it.

It’s a reprint of the 20th Edition.

I purchased it for $13.99 in May of 2019. I’ve noticed quite an immense fluctuation in price these last couple weeks.

The text is well printed and easy to read. You will find quite a bit of underlining and notes in the margins. These were all copied over by this publisher.

Hopefully that’s helpful in your decision making process. I will continue adding posts as I find out more on other reprints.
