The Old Schoolhouse (TOS) Homeschool Crew asked me and some of my crew members to review Salem Ridge Press. You’ll want to read the other reviews, posted here.
I want to tell you right now that I wish I already owned every single one of the 27 titles republished by Salem Ridge Press. They are available in paper back, printed on good paper with a strong binding, and also hardcover, which I don’t doubt are beautiful. You can read them in e-book format, as well. (I received a physical, softcover book and two e-books to read as a basis of this review.)
Salem Ridge Press is the heart and brain of Daniel Mills. Daniel graduated (homeschool) in 2003 and started his republishing company in 2005. It’s foundation is Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think on these things.” A company standard with God’s seal of approval. Exceptional!
Books republished by Salem Ridge Press have been chosen from fine children’s literature of the 1800’s and 1900’s. 12 titles have been republished in the Emma Leslie Church History series. World History, American History, Adventure and Allegory are also available. Content is thoroughly reviewed and may be slightly edited to meet the standard of moral and Godly character, before it is republished. They are re-typecast, making the print and layout easier to read. Most of these books are historical, period pieces; therefore, the language may be more difficult to read, at first. Daniel and his team ease the transition-through-time by adding historical notes, timelines, definitions and maps to each book.
Books are listed at SalemRidgePress.com in alphabetical order, by time period & location (my favorite), by author and according to age range. Price per book is $14.95 to $24.95. You can also contact the company at: Salem Ridge Press LLC, 4263 Salem Drive, Emmaus, PA 18049. If you sign up now for their quarterly newsletter you receive a chance to win a free book!
I’ve often told my children… garbage in = garbage out.
Daniel and Salem Ridge Press make… wholesome in = wholesome out… a real possibility.
Blessings,

Sounds like a product worth checking out. I like the idea that it is ‘putting in’ the good stuff…a very important plus in my book!
Thanks for sharing!
