About Me

Learning All About Textbooks

Hi there, I am Felicia Fromps. I am a strong supporter of investing in textbooks for lifelong learning. While I was in college, all of my peers were using digital textbook versions whenever possible. I stuck with the classic models due to my love of that new book smell and feel. I also wanted to scribe my thoughts and notes in the margins as I gained knowledge in the subject. Working with a real textbook just makes me feel like I am learning faster and retaining the information longer. After graduating, I did not want to sell my textbooks back to the college. Instead, I set them up on the bookshelf, so I could refer back to the information whenever I wanted. I hope to share my love for textbooks with you through this site. I will also discuss how to obtain educational books and supplies for yourself and others.
