Sonlight's Book Changes in 2012

Sonlight's Book Changes in 2012 IG's

**I've switched off the comments feature on this post - it's an info only post.
And for those looking for an exhaustive list of books Sonlight have dropped, retired, from their IG's you may like to have a look at our post:   Discontinued Sonlight Titles ~ Book List

The smaller list, detailed in this post, may help those who've asked about book changes, don't frequent the SL forums, and want a bit more of a heads up to assist in the decision to purchase a 2011 IG and any books that will be dropped in the new IG's.
Relying on being able to purchase 2nd hand is not always a given in our neck of the woods.

The last day for purchasing the old IG's is April 1.
