I love all the places those who commented are planning on using the books: libraries, classrooms, homeschools, day care, children's parties, children's "book camp", senior centers, art classes.
And their great ideas for how to use the books:

I've also used this book as a sketchbook. We use one side for the first quarter and the other side for the second quarter.

Wow. I just sat down with he kids trying to empart the concept goals vs. Projects. Not exactly dos-a-dos but the construction & concept would adapt equally well as our "Make it up; Make it happen" (a David Allen quote).Goals/Projects booklet.

I love making books and share my skills voluntarily with the community. I often work with abused women, I can see this would be a great way to explore some of their confused feelings. And as ever you have made a tricky structure so simple - thank you!

Great dos-a-dos. I hadn't thought about doing a compare/contrast but this will work well for a comparison of transportation "then and now" - in our study of fourth grade pioneer history! Love the reuse application of cereal box

Lots of great applications for this type of book with younger children as well as older. Almost any pair of opposites will work: in/out; up/down;thoughtful/thoughtless (for older kids) etc. Thanks for the easy-to-follow directions!

I just went on a garden tour with a couple of my librarian friends, we could have used this little book to name plants we would like to buy and a little sketch and on the other side list the books we want to read. A perfect memory of a garden book day. Thanks Susan for all your inspiration!

I make lots of books for the children in my daycare and this is a GREAT idea to compare two different things:summer and winter,big and little,fast and slow, hot and cold,etc.
