A Bit of History

TD Books & Media was created to serve the readers of Tech Directions magazine, formally School Shop magazine. For almost 80 years the magazine provided information teachers could use in teaching the trades, and later technology education, in middle and high schools across the country. Unfortunately the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020 took down the long running magazine. TD Books & Media offers products inspired by the magazine and it’s readers. To everyone who supported the magazine and the education of students for technical and technology-based careers, we thank you.
