I also look for audiobooks. With MP3 players becoming more popular and affordable, they have become a great option, as well as giving your eyes a rest. :)</p> </li> <li> <p>If the book I want is about finance or management, I check whether there is a copy at the <a href="http://www.bibliotecafinanceira.com.br/">Financial Library</a>. They provide an outstanding service to the Brazilian public. You can now rent books that cost over R$100 for R$15 and keep one at home for two months to read. The book is delivered by mail, along with a postage-paid envelope to ensure its return. All you have to do is read it and drop it off at the nearest post office within two months. When I signed up last year, there was a membership fee of R$25 plus R$15 for the book, making the first rental R$40 in total. Starting with the second book, I would only have to spend R$15. A great service! I even sent them a written note of congratulations, saying how surprised I was by the team’s quality and competence. I recommend it!</p> https://kindofidea.com/children-s-finance-books-children-s-day-promotion/ Sun, 07 Oct 2007 00:00:00 +0000 https://kindofidea.com/children-s-finance-books-children-s-day-promotion/ <img src="http://dinheirama.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/dinheirama_capa_livro_zequinha.jpg" alt="children's book about finance" /> <p>Take advantage of this Children’s Day promotion!</p> <p>Navarro of Dinheirama.com and Álvaro are offering <a href="http://dinheirama.com/blog/2007/10/05/promocao-3-livros-infantis-frete-gratis/">three children’s books about financial education</a>, which the whole family can read and discuss, with <strong>free shipping</strong> for just <strong>R$36.00</strong>.</p> <p>I checked the <a href="http://www.edufinanceira.com.br/livros.php">Financial Education</a> site, and each book is selling for R$14.90, totaling R$44.70 before shipping.
