SONLIGHT ~ DISCONTINUED BOOK LIST (UPDATED April 2016)

Here’s how we've gone about compiling this list:
Prior to 2012, if a book had been moved to another Core, in general, we've not included it in this list, typing up only the titles that have remained dropped. Quite a few books were dropped out and then added back into SL Cores, at regular intervals, over the years – we've only included the titles that have remained dropped. Electives, or Science titles have not been noted, unless they were a science biography. We have not included a separate listing for Core 6A titles. {Updated in 2013 to show books dropped from Core W}

We have worked through the catalogues: 1994, 1995,1997-2014--- and a jumble of personal notes to come up with this non-exhaustive list of discontinued Sonlight titles. (All those tiles with this little squiggle ~ between the title and the author are my hours of work). Thanks to Tara of the SL forums for all her work; if you see the author's name in brackets, this is her generous contribution.

Request for Use:
** Please be considerate and do not copy and redistribute the details off this list as your own work. If you decide to recreate this list, or use portions of it, to place in amongst a list of your own design; in your own document, on a post, in a tweet, on pinterest, or ... Please give credit to the SL moms/mums who contributed to, or worked on the original: Chelle (NZ)---Tara (SL Forums)--Jill (US)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As a note, you may enjoy my Homeschool Resource Library which is full of great homeschool and parenting help and encouragement. 

~If you have any of the Sonlight® Catalogs from 1990-1993 or 1996, I would love to either have you see what books have been dropped from those years, or to get [or purchase] those catalogs from you so I could do it. It would be great to have a more complete list. Email me, you can find my email on the side of my blog. ~

 2016 Retired Sonlight® Book List

Retired Sonlight Books, a list.. These will make great recreational or supplemental ready for you or your children. 

(I am still looking for the 1990, 91, 92, 93 and 96 catalogs. If you have any of these and would like to sell or give it to me, I would be grateful and could make this list more complete. Please email me at bluegrassjill@gmail.com)
