Hi Carolyn,
The website does have a sample page for each grade level under the contents and
curriculum information link.  However, if you would still like to get the 9th and 12th
grade student books, the shipping is $4.  I am slowly beginning work on a 13th level for
college students.  Meanwhile, several college professors are using the 12th grade book
in their freshman English courses.  If you can't access those sample pages, let me
know.  I can send them to you.
