Do you have a blog? Do you write for a magazine or a newsletter? Do you enjoy reading Douglas Wilson?

If you answered “Yes” to any of those questions, then I have a question for you: are you interested in reviewing some of our upcoming titles? (more…)

This month, from Doug Wilson:
Evening in the Palace of Reason is a striking book. In it, James Gaines wonderfully describes the background and setting for a brief encounter in 1757 between Johann Sebastian Bach and Frederick the Great. Frederick was an Enlightenment king, and represented what was thought to be the very modern future. Bach was a representative of the legacy of the Reformation, and another set of values entirely. This is a gripping and satisfying read.

We (that is, Canon Press) have come to a fork in the road. Or maybe it’s a crossroads. Whatever it is, it’s a point where we’ve been forced to stop and re-evaluate what exactly it is that we do. (more…)

Many faithful Canon customers discovered us through the classical Christian education movement. Although we didn’t publish Doug Wilson’s Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning, we have worked hard to continue the vision laid out in that book. Between curriculum (like our popular Logic and Latin textbooks) and practical how-to guides for Christian educators (Repairing the Ruins and Classical Education and the Homeschool), we’ve sought to give parents and teachers sound advice as they compile curriculum and work to raise Godly children.

It can cost a pretty penny (or a shiny shilling) for us to ship books across the pond, and that means we in turn have to charge our UK customers high shipping prices. We’ve looked for ways to get around this, but we’ve never found a viable option. Until now.

Thanks to the help of some wonderful friends, we’re starting a new program—UK Rapid. As its name suggests, UK Rapid is a quick way for folks who live in UK to get our books. Basically, we’ve set up a Canon Press warehouse in the UK and stocked it with some of our most popular titles. When your order comes through on our website, your books will be shipped from within UK. Not only will you receive your books within a few days (instead of a few weeks!), but you’ll also save a good deal on shipping (since you’ll only be paying First Class UK shipping prices).

The only catch is this: all the items in your order must be UK Rapid-eligible in order for the UK Rapid shipping option to appear. So, if you try putting an order through and can’t see the “First Class UK” shipping option, chances are that you’ve accidentally added an ineligible item. To help avoid this, we’ve conveniently marked all the UK Rapid-eligible items with the UK Rapid logo. Also, whenever you want to return to the UK Rapid section, just slide your mouse over to the “Books” menu on the left and click on “UK Rapid.”

At this time, only a smattering of our titles are available through UK Rapid. (You can find a complete list here.) But keep your eyes peeled. We hope to add more books to this program in coming months.
