They borrow your pens. They steal your pens. They just don't care if you're de-penned, because they know you're dependable. Show them what dependable is! Our carton of 1,000 ballpoints, more or less, will supply the whole office or school for a long, long time, and cost less than 8 cents apiece. They range from fat, padded barrels to basic slim ballpoints. All colors. All are imprinted, but are misprints or overruns. The carton may hold a wild assortment or 1,000 of one kind. We never know. But we know you've been de-penned for the last time.

"Money, Money, Money" by Troy Spencer for Troll Books is a good introduction to the history and sensible use of lucre, filthy and otherwise, for 7- to 11-year-olds. It's 16pp and sold for $6.95 in bookstores. It comes with a package of $100 worth of shredded U.S. currency to break their little hearts. And no, the $100 isn't all from the same bills, so tell them not to bother piecing the shreds together. (On the other hand, trying it could tie them up for a quiet month or two, so we'd let them go ahead.)

A teacher's dream! (1000) good-quality crayons for an incredible price. You could pay a lot more money, but they'll just palm off a jumble of colors on you, and leave you standing there, juggling burnt sienna and burnt umber. We, on the other hand, can offer you a box of (250) lovely blue crayons, all the same, no fighting over who got cerulean and who got azure. And a box of (250) red. And (250) yellow. And (250) green. All are nontoxic, and conform to ASTM D4236. You get all (4) boxes, (1) of each color, for $25 - that's .025/crayon. They're also great, of course, for restaurants to hand out with their kiddie menus, if it's not a problem that they're labeled with the name of a chain of steakhouses. After all, it's just one word, and could be a description of some of the colors. And it should warm your heart to know that they paid a lot more for those crayons than you're going to!
