  ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS FOR THE
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1996
  -------------------------------

  Certain statements contained in this Management Discussion and Analysis are
  not based on historical facts, but are forward-looking statements that are
  based upon numerous assumptions about future conditions that may ultimately
  prove to be inaccurate.  Actual events and results may materially differ from
  anticipated results described in such statements.  The Company's ability to
  achieve such results is subject to certain risks and uncertainties.  Such
  risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to, product prices,
  continued availability of capital and financing, and other factors affecting
  the Company's business that may be beyond its control.

  FINANCIAL CONDITION
  -------------------

  The financial condition of the Company remains strong. Working capital
  increased 7% at May 31, 1996 over year-end February 29, 1996.  Inventory
  decreased 14% as the Company streamlined its purchasing procedures.  Payables
  decreased 69% at May 31,1996 over year-end February 29, 1996 as the Company
  paid for inventory received in the prior quarter.  The Company increased its
  credit line to $9,000,000 effective June 10, 1996.

  Management continues to focus on increasing market share in its Library
  Service and Publishing Division and to increase revenue from the Home Business
  Division through increasing its sales consultants network.  Management's
  analysis indicates that the increased exposure of its products through the
  Home Business Division contributes to increased marketability in the
  Publishing Division.  Because the Company has a relatively small share of the
  children's book market, Management believes there is potential to continue to
  increase market share in the Publishing and Library Service Division in the
  future.  Additionally, based upon the feedback Management receives from Home
  Business Division sales consultants, the products being offered through this
  Division are well received by the public and becoming more widely known and
  accepted.  Accordingly, Management expects this Division to continue to
  experience growth.

  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  ---------------------

  Revenues - Net sales from the Publishing Division were $2,011,800 for the
  --------                                                                 
  three months ended May 31, 1996, a decrease of 1.2% over net sales of
  $2,036,100 for the three months ended May 31, 1995.  Sales in the publishing
  industry nationwide were down from the previous year.  Management expects the
  Publishing Division's sales to improve during the next quarter.

  Net sales from the Home Business Division were $3,353,900 for the three months
  ended May 31, 1996, an increase of 104% over the net sales of $1,645,800 for
  the three months ended May 31, 1995.  This increase in net sales is the result
  of an increase in the number of active consultants, which can be attributed to
  new incentive programs which  motivate and assist consultants in sales and
  recruiting.  This Division offers the entire Usborne line of approximately 900
  titles.  Management believes this Division has excellent potential for
  continued growth.

  Net sales from the Library Services Division were $319,300 for the three
  months ended May 31, 1996, compared to $303,200 for the same three month
  period a year ago, an increase of 5%.  Management is optimistic that the
  library market will continue to afford opportunity for growth.

Operating Expenses - The Company's cost of sales increased to $2,288,900 for
- ------------------                                                          
the three months ended May 31, 1996 compared with $1,685,800 for the same
period last year, an increase of 36%.  Cost of sales as a percentage of gross
sales was 28.1% for the three months ended May 31, 1996 compared with 26.7%
for the same period a year ago.

Operating and selling expenses were $1,146,200 for the three months ended May
31, 1996 compared to $652,400 for the same period last year, an increase of
76%.  Operating and selling expenses as a percentage of gross sales were 14%
for the three months ended May 31, 1996 compared to 10% for the same period a
year ago.  Contributing to the increase in operating and selling expenses were
sales incentives which increased 186% in the Home Business Division as a
result of the increase in sales.

Sales commissions were $1,344,800 for the three months ended May 31, 1996
compared to $673,500 for the same period last year, an increase of 100%.
Sales commissions as a percentage of gross sales were 16.5% for the three
months ended May 31, 1996 compared to 10.7% for the same period last year.
Sales commissions as a percentage of gross sales is determined by the product
mix being sold, as the commission rates vary with the product being sold. The
increase in sales by the Home Business Division, which has a higher commission
percentage, resulted in higher commission costs.

General and administrative expenses increased to $286,900 for three months
ended May 31, 1996 compared to $190,000 for the same period last year, an
increase of 51%.  General and administrative expenses as a percentage of gross
sales were 3.5% for the three months ended May 31, 1996 and 3% for the same
period last year.  The Company leased additional office and warehouse space,
increasing rents 42%.

Interest expense was $124,300 for the three months ended May 31, 1996 compared
to $46,600 for the same period a year ago.  This increase was attributable to
increased borrowing levels throughout the current period when compared with
the same period a year ago.  The increased borrowing levels occurred as the
Company paid its principal supplier for inventory acquired in an earlier
period.

Discontinued Operations - Effective February 29, 1996, the Company
- -----------------------                                           
discontinued its School Division.  The Company anticipates that the
liquidation of the division will be completed during fiscal 1997 through the
disposition of remaining assets of the division.  The remaining assets of the
division were written off at February 29, 1996. Accordingly, the operating
results of the School Division are segregated and reported as discontinued
operations in the accompanying statements of earnings for the first quarter
ended May 31, 1995.

The condensed statements of operations relating to the discontinued School
Division operations for the period ended May 31, 1995 is presented below.
