LAMPSTAND PRESS

Lampstand Press was officially founded in 1998, but it really began three years earlier, when a homeschool mother of six named Marcia Somerville was led by her husband, Scott, through the process of writing a curriculum based on a four-year study of the history of the world, that she entitled "His tory." Marcia originally intended her work for family use, but soon others began expressing interest in the curriculum. As its user base grew, the curriculum was named Tapestry of Grace, and Marcia's pre-existing company, "Books ‘N Kids, Inc." marketed it... In the summer of 2014, Lampstand Press offered a new product for new homeschoolers: Tapestry Primer! It was written specifically for families whose oldest child is in Kindergarten or 1st grade, and gives an overview of all of world history. It was around this time that Marcia's son, Mike, took over leadership of Lampstand Press as President... In 2006, Marcia reformed Books ‘N Kids as a publishing house, renaming it "Lampstand Press."..
