I just ordered some great disney coloring/activity books and disney books on tape for good prices at bookcloseouts. The coloring books were .89-1.49 and the tape books were at 3.99-4.00. They also have Disney World for Kids by Kids 2001 for 3.99 (I paid $10.95 at the book store...wonder if I could return it???)
My five year old daughter loves to look at that book and plan what she's going to do. Also a lot of Adult Disney books. One has the history of Mickey plus a pull out poster for $1.49...check it out

www.bookcloseouts.com

I ordered several Disney guide books from them. The prices are ultra cheap, and these are the same books you would buy at a book store, amazon.com, etc. Do a search for Disney World to bring up a list of the guidebooks, or Disney to find various childrens books. The shipping and handling is pretty cheap too. I ordered 7 or 8 books and the shipping was about $3.50 or so.

My son will love that site..he is a reader and book collector :)

The funniest thing happened when I went to the site though.. he has loaded gator software on he PC (which is a pain because it pops up all the time!). It asked me if I wanted it to fill in my form for me and I hit the close button.. but then when I searched on disney books and the link for the disney kids book the gator software asked me if I wanted it to search for that book on other web sites. I was curious and let it do that. It found the WDW for kids book on half.com for the same price, but the shipping is cheaper... then it told me I can save 50% for a first time order. Pretty cool :) The list it came up with was pretty long and I couldnt believe the different prices... Im thinking this might be a good tool to use when shopping on the web. Looks like an effortless way to compare prices.

~Thanks again for the info!

I was wrong about saving the 50% for first time customers though.
The 50% is their regular advertised savings. The shipping was cheaper, only
2.50 and I found a coupon code to save $5.00 off a $10.00 purchase (the code was BUS).. that ends
up being more than 50% if you are purchasing $10 of merchandise with the shipping
savings :) I got the disney 2001 book and a Pooh Friends Forever CD and all together saved $8=
$3.00 shipping and $5 coupon. Not too bad :) I was wondering though if the closeout.com site
shipping is cummulative - not a flat rate for each item, but just a basic rate and a little more for each
item. I dont do a lot of shopping online, but I bet the shipping charges could add up!
