Copyright Notice
Important Copyright and Photocopy Permission Information
There seems to be more demand for ESL services and less money for books! I
t

snot easy to be an
ESL teacher without photocopying books. ESL Resources recognizes this and provides ESL
teachers with a relatively cheap source of legally reproducible books. For $25 - $50 purchasing
teachers get an ESL book with photocopy permission. This is often less than 50 cents per
reproducible page. Each book represents hundreds if not thousands of hours of preparation
time. Teachers, how much is your time worth? Canadian Resources has the books - now
keep us in business by purchasing our books. Photocopies are not for resale.
Purchasing Teacher (One Teacher Permission)
A purchasing teacher is granted permission to photocopy this book for use by his/her students.
You can be an itinerant teacher at several sites or based at one site. Photocopies are not for
resale.
Purchasing School (One School/Site Permission)
If you need photocopy permission for more than one teacher in your school it can be arranged for
a small additional fee. Please contact me at thane@eslresources.com for further information.
