Teaching Manuals will cost R90.00 a book in SA in 2010. In the African countries north of the Limpopo, SSalt book prices fluctuate in response to currency values. Payment in either Sterling, US$ or local currency is acceptable.

Activity Pads cost R30 in SA in 2010. Each Teaching Manual already includes a set of Activity Pages. These can be photocopied for pupil’s use, as the purchase price for the book permits this. However, separate pads of these sheets are also produced. We recommend purchasing one Activity Pad with each Teacher’s book to keep the book intact and avoid having to cannabalise it for photocopying.

Where can they be obtained?
Books can be ordered by mail, e-mail or telephone, generally between 7am and 9.30pm, and will be posted out. They are not stocked in bookshops in SA.
