Educational supplies now cover such a huge range that knowing where to look is nearly as perplexing as knowing what to look for. Besabook 2002 is a catalogue of catalogues. Published by the British Educational Suppliers Association, it brings together key information on 250 companies committed to high standards, safety and accountability to clients. Without listing individual products, it indicates the broad scope of what’s available. Percussion instruments and permanent markers, storage systems and sensory gardens, management support and multimedia software all find a place, together with essential details of websites and customer service contacts, and what’s more it’s free.
