We decided to homeschool the kids early on - so it was natural when we moved into our current neighborhood that we would gravitate toward Diann Jeppson, and that we would become introduced to Thomas Jefferson Education (TJEd). Diann has lived the principles of TJEd first hand in her home, and is a great mentor and source of information regarding this teaching method.
"A Thomas Jefferson Education" was written by Oliver DeMille, and its methodology has revolutionized the educational process in our home. My queen and I both apply the principles in our own studies, and are learning how to apply the principles in the learning process of our princes.
I began a graduate degree program in 2006 at GWU, under the direct tutelage of Oliver DeMille. I expect that the degree will take several more years, but the journey is fantastic. Oliver and the other mentors have very keen intellects, and the classes and other opportunites to interface and network are amazing.
Oliver DeMille, his wife Rachel, and Diann Jeppson recently authored a companion to the original book. It is equally valuable and informative.All of these books can be ordered directly from TJEdMarketplace.

I'm curious if you know where to find any of these books - Amazon doesn't have any available at all, unless you want to pay ridiculous prices, so I'm not sure where to buy them from.
If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it. Your post is the most recent I've found on the subject and I'm interested in learning more. :)

Yes - you can order from TJEdMarketplace - http://www.tjedmarketplace.com/books
I believe they're worth the price, but if the cost holds you back from picking them up, let me know and I'll loan you my copies (I'll ship them to you in AK or wherever you are.)
I think your blog is great - thanks for your willingness to share life experiences with others.
