Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business — Estimates — Reclassifications — Business Concentration — Cash and Cash Equivalents — Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable also includes consignment inventory balances of inactive consultants as the Company considers these amounts to be collectable directly from the inactive consultants either through payment or the return of titles consigned. Management periodically reviews accounts receivable balances and, based on an assessment of historical bad debts, current customer receivable balances, age of customer receivable balances, customers’ financial conditions and current economic trends, estimates the portion of the balance that will not be collected. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation account based on its assessment of the current status of the individual accounts. Balances which remain outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. Management has estimated an allowance for doubtful accounts of $485,000 and $401,900 as of February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively. Included within this allowance is $217,000 and $148,000 of reserve related to consignment inventory held by inactive consultants. Inventories — Consultants that meet certain eligibility requirements are allowed to receive inventory on consignment. Consignment inventory is stated at cost, less an estimated reserve for consignment inventory that is not expected to be sold or returned to the Company. The total value of inventory on consignment with active consultants was $1,140,700 and $571,400 at February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively. Inventory related to inactive consultants is reclassified to accounts receivables and amounted to $309,000 and $174,000 at the end of fiscal year 2017 and 2016, respectively. Such inventory is subject to a reserve based on estimated amounts that will not be sold or returned. Inventories are presented net of a valuation allowance, which includes reserves for inventory obsolescence and active consultant consignment inventory that is not expected to be sold or returned. Management estimates the allowance for both current and noncurrent inventory. The allowance is based on management’s identification of slow moving inventory and estimated consignment inventory that will not be sold or returned. Property, Plant and Equipment — Building 30 years Building improvements 10 – 15 years Machinery and equipment 3– 15 years Furniture and fixtures 3 years Capitalized projects that are not placed in service are recorded as in progress and are not depreciated until the related assets are placed in service. Impairments of Long-Lived Assets — Income Taxes — Revenue Recognition — Estimated allowances for sales returns are recorded as sales are recognized and recorded. Management uses a moving average calculation to estimate the allowance for sales returns. We are not responsible for product damaged in transit. Damaged returns are primarily from the retail stores. The damages occur in the stores, not in shipping to the stores. It is industry practice to accept returns from wholesale customers. Management has estimated and included a reserve for sales returns of $190,000 and $100,000 for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively. Advertising Costs — Shipping and Handling Costs — Interest Expense — Interest Expense — Earnings per Share — The computation of weighted average common and common equivalent shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS is shown below. Year Ended February 28 (29), 2017 2016 Earnings Per Share: Net earnings applicable to $ 2,860,900 $ 2,119,300 Shares: Weighted average shares 4,077,695 4,049,154 Assumed exercise of options 5,159 2,524 Weighted average shares 4,082,854 4,051,678 Diluted Earnings Per Share: Basic $ 0.70 $ 0.52 Diluted $ 0.70 $ 0.52 Stock-Based Compensation — New Accounting Pronouncements — In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, and amended with ASU No. 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides a single revenue recognition model which is intended to improve comparability over a range of industries, companies and geographical boundaries and will also result in enhanced disclosures. The changes are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2019. We are currently reviewing the ASU and assessing the potential impact on our financial statements. In July 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11 "Inventory - Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory", which is intended to allow measurement of inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2018. We anticipate this ASU having minimal impact on our financial statements. In November 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17 “Income Taxes – Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which is intended to improve how deferred taxes are classified on organizations’ balance sheets by eliminating the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will now be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The changes are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2018. We anticipate this ASU having minimal impact on our financial statements. In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases,” which is intended to establish a comprehensive new lease accounting model. The new standard clarifies the definition of a lease, requires a dual approach to lease classification similar to current lease classifications, and causes lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right-of-use asset. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition for capital or operating leases existing at or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. We are currently reviewing the ASU and evaluating the potential impact on our financial statements. In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2018. We are currently reviewing the ASU and evaluating the potential impact on our financial statements. In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses", which requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020. We anticipate this ASU having minimal impact on our financial statements. |

Disclosure Text Block Supplement [Abstract] | |
Asset Impairment Charges [Text Block] | 4. IMPAIRMENT Beginning in fiscal 2015, the Company began working with a third-party to develop an integrated direct-sales order system. This system was to be used by the Company’s independent sales consultants to assist them in order processing, payment collection, genealogy tracking, commission reporting among other features. Our sales consultants started using the new system during the third quarter of fiscal 2017. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017 it was concluded that the system was not fulfilling the needs of the direct-sales program. Management evaluated various alternatives, but ultimately concluded it was necessary to abandon the system as it became clear the third-party developer would be unable to get the system to operate as originally intended. As a result, we reverted to our original web-based proprietary system and recognized an impairment loss of $1.1 million, as it was determined that the system had no fair value as a result of being abandoned. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | 6. INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The tax effects of significant items comprising our net deferred tax assets and liabilities as of February 28 (29), are as follows: FY2017 FY2016 Current: Deferred tax assets: Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 164,600 $ 40,000 Inventory overhead capitalization 131,000 131,000 Inventory valuation allowance 9,500 9,500 Allowance for sales returns 72,200 38,000 Accruals 89,300 79,700 Deferred tax assets-current 466,600 298,200 Noncurrent: Deferred tax assets (liabilities): Inventory valuation allowance $ 104,500 $ 114,000 Property, plant and equipment (443,100 ) (63,100 ) Capital loss carryforward 163,600 163,600 Subtotal deferred tax assets (liabilities): (175,000 ) 214,500 Less valuation allowance (163,600 ) (163,600 ) Net deferred tax assets (liabilities)-noncurrent $ (338,600 ) $ 50,900 Management has assessed the evidence to estimate whether sufficient future capital gains will be generated to utilize the existing capital loss carryforward. As no current expectation of capital gains exists, management has determined that a valuation allowance is necessary to reduce the carrying value of the capital loss carryforward deferred tax asset as it is “more likely than not” that such assets are unrealizable. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if future capital gains are generated during the carryforward period which ends February 28, 2019. Management has determined that no valuation allowance is necessary to reduce the carrying value of other deferred tax assets as it is “more likely than not” that such assets are realizable. The amount of the deferred tax liability related to property, plant and equipment and current income tax (payable) receivable could be adjusted if a scheduled future cost segregation analysis, expected to be completed by the end of the second fiscal quarter 2018, results in changes which affect this liability. An estimate of the range of the change in deferred tax liability cannot be made at this time. The components of income tax expense are as follows: February 28 (29), 2017 2016 Current: Federal $ 1,267,600 $ 1,210,900 State 262,500 234,800 1,530,100 1,445,700 Deferred: Federal 186,200 (16,100 ) State 34,900 (3,000 ) 221,100 (19,100 ) Total income tax expense $ 1,751,200 $ 1,426,600 The following reconciles our expected income tax expense utilizing statutory tax rates to the actual tax expense: February 28 (29), 2017 2016 Tax expense at federal statutory rate $ 1,568,200 $ 1,205,600 Federal income tax audit expense for 2012 - 67,900 State income tax–net of federal tax benefit 182,000 158,200 Other 1,000 (5,100 ) Total income tax expense $ 1,751,200 $ 1,426,600 We file our tax returns in the U.S. and certain state jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years before 2013. Based upon a review of our income tax filing positions, we believe that our positions would be sustained upon an audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. We classify interest and penalties associated with income taxes as a component of income tax expense on the statement of earnings. |

Commitments Disclosure [Text Block] | 8. COMMITMENTS In connection with the purchase of the facility, disclosed in Note 3, we entered into a 15-year lease with the seller, a non-related third party, who leases 181,300 square feet, or 45.3% of the facility. The lease is being accounted for as an operating lease. The cost of the leased space upon acquisition was estimated at $10,159,000, which was also the carrying cost as of February 28, 2017. The accumulated depreciation associated with the leased assets was $438,700 and $88,000 for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively. Both the leased assets and accumulated depreciation are included in property, plant and equipment-net in the balance sheet. The lease requires payments of $105,800 per month starting December 1, 2015, with a 2.0% annual increase adjustment on each anniversary date thereafter. The lease terms allow for one five-year extension, which is not a bargain renewal option, at the expiration of the 15-year term. Revenue associated with the lease is being recorded on a straight-line basis and is reported in other income on the statement of earnings. The following table reflects future minimum rental income payments under the non-cancellable portion of this lease as of February 28, 2017: Year Ending February 28, 2018 $ 1,301,000 2019 1,327,000 2020 1,353,500 2021 1,380,600 2022 1,408,200 Thereafter 13,584,100 Total $ 20,354,400 At February 28, 2017, we had outstanding purchase commitments for inventory totaling approximately $5,969,800, which is due during fiscal year 2018.

For the year ended February 28, 2017, we had no letters of credit outstanding. The Loan Agreement contains provisions that require us to maintain specified financial ratios, restrict transactions with related parties, prohibit mergers or consolidation, disallow additional debt, and limit the amount of compensation, salaries, investments, capital expenditures, leasing transactions and the amount of distributions we can make on a quarterly basis. Additionally, the Loan Agreement suspends dividends and stock buybacks.

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | 12. BUSINESS SEGMENTS We have two reportable segments: EDC Publishing and UBAM which are business units that offer different methods of distribution to different types of customers. They are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations. · EDC Publishing markets its products to retail accounts, which include book, toy and gift stores, school supply stores and museums, through commissioned sales representatives, trade and specialty wholesalers and an internal telesales group. · UBAM markets its product line through a nationwide network of independent sales consultants using a combination of home shows, internet shows, and book fairs. UBAM also distributes to school and public libraries. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. We evaluate segment performance based on earnings (loss) before income taxes of the segments, which is defined as segment net sales reduced by direct cost of sales and direct expenses. Corporate expenses, depreciation, interest expense, other income and income taxes are not allocated to the segments, but are listed in the “other” column. Corporate expenses include the executive department, accounting department, information services department, general office management and building facilities management. Our assets and liabilities are not allocated on a segment basis.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | 14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The valuation hierarchy included in U.S. GAAP considers the transparency of inputs used to value assets and liabilities as of the measurement date. The less transparent or observable the inputs used to value assets and liabilities, the lower the classification of the assets and liabilities in the valuation hierarchy. A financial instrument's classification within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to its fair value measurement. The three levels of the valuation hierarchy and the classification of our financial assets and liabilities within the hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If an asset or liability has a specified term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. We do not report any assets or liabilities at fair value in the financial statements. However, the estimated fair value of our line of credit is estimated by management to approximate the carrying value of $4,882,900 and $3,331,800 at February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively. The estimated fair value of our term notes payable is estimated by management to approximate $20,130,100 at February 28, 2017 and $18,078,300 February 29, 2016, respectively. Management's estimates are based on the obligations' characteristics, including floating interest rate, maturity, and collateral. Such valuation inputs are considered a Level 2 measurement in the fair value valuation hierarchy. |

Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable also includes consignment inventory balances of inactive consultants as the Company considers these amounts to be collectable directly from the inactive consultants either through payment or the return of titles consigned. Management periodically reviews accounts receivable balances and, based on an assessment of historical bad debts, current customer receivable balances, age of customer receivable balances, customers’ financial conditions and current economic trends, estimates the portion of the balance that will not be collected. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation account based on its assessment of the current status of the individual accounts. Balances which remain outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. Management has estimated an allowance for doubtful accounts of $485,000 and $401,900 as of February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively. Included within this allowance is $217,000 and $148,000 of reserve related to consignment inventory held by inactive consultants. |
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Inventories — Consultants that meet certain eligibility requirements are allowed to receive inventory on consignment. Consignment inventory is stated at cost, less an estimated reserve for consignment inventory that is not expected to be sold or returned to the Company. The total value of inventory on consignment with active consultants was $1,140,700 and $571,400 at February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively. Inventory related to inactive consultants is reclassified to accounts receivables and amounted to $309,000 and $174,000 at the end of fiscal year 2017 and 2016, respectively. Such inventory is subject to a reserve based on estimated amounts that will not be sold or returned. Inventories are presented net of a valuation allowance, which includes reserves for inventory obsolescence and active consultant consignment inventory that is not expected to be sold or returned. Management estimates the allowance for both current and noncurrent inventory. The allowance is based on management’s identification of slow moving inventory and estimated consignment inventory that will not be sold or returned. |

The damages occur in the stores, not in shipping to the stores. It is industry practice to accept returns from wholesale customers. Management has estimated and included a reserve for sales returns of $190,000 and $100,000 for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively. |

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | New Accounting Pronouncements — In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, and amended with ASU No. 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides a single revenue recognition model which is intended to improve comparability over a range of industries, companies and geographical boundaries and will also result in enhanced disclosures. The changes are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2019. We are currently reviewing the ASU and assessing the potential impact on our financial statements. In July 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11 "Inventory - Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory", which is intended to allow measurement of inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2018. We anticipate this ASU having minimal impact on our financial statements. In November 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17 “Income Taxes – Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which is intended to improve how deferred taxes are classified on organizations’ balance sheets by eliminating the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will now be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The changes are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2018. We anticipate this ASU having minimal impact on our financial statements. In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases,” which is intended to establish a comprehensive new lease accounting model. The new standard clarifies the definition of a lease, requires a dual approach to lease classification similar to current lease classifications, and causes lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right-of-use asset. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition for capital or operating leases existing at or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. We are currently reviewing the ASU and evaluating the potential impact on our financial statements. In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2018. We are currently reviewing the ASU and evaluating the potential impact on our financial statements. In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses", which requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which means the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020. We anticipate this ASU having minimal impact on our financial statements. |
