Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Note 1 Basis of Presentation The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim condensed financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, unless otherwise disclosed herein. Accordingly, the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended February 28, 2022 included in our Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year due to the seasonality of our product sales. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 2022 condensed statement of cash flows to conform to the classifications used in fiscal 2023. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings. COVID-19 Update The Company has taken numerous steps, and will continue to take further actions, in its approach to minimize the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Effective May 1, 2021, we lessened our safety and health practices in the office and warehouse based on the recommendations from the local Tulsa Health Department. We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and continually assessing its potential effects on our business. The long-term severity and duration of the pandemic are uncertain and the extent to which our results are affected by COVID-19 cannot be accurately predicted. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for more information on the impact COVID-19 had during the current fiscal period. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant Accounting Policies Our significant accounting policies, other than the adoption of new accounting pronouncements separately documented herein, are consistent with those disclosed in Note 1 to our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended February 28, 2022 included in our Form 10-K. New Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) periodically issues new accounting standards in a continuing effort to improve standards of financial accounting and reporting. We have reviewed the recently issued accounting standards updates (“ASU”) and concluded that the following recently issued accounting standards apply to us: In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04: Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This update provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease potential accounting impacts associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, such as London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). This ASU includes practical expedients for contract modifications due to reference rate reform. Generally, contract modifications related to reference rate reform may be considered an event that does not require remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination at the modification date. This ASU is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. With the execution of the Fifth Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Loan Agreement the Benchmark Replacement for LIBOR is defined as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR") published by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The change from LIBOR to SOFR did not require remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination and did not have a material impact to our condensed financial statements. |

Debt Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 4 Debt consists of the following: May 31, 2022 February 28, 2022 Line of credit $ 22,508,900 $ 17,723,500 Advancing term loan #1 $ 4,551,200 $ 4,782,600 Advancing term loan #2 9,652,700 9,868,400 Term loan #1 10,180,800 10,349,100 Total long-term debt 24,384,700 25,000,100 Less current maturities (2,517,500 ) (2,542,200 ) Less debt issue cost (47,100 ) (48,400 ) Long-term debt, net $ 21,820,100 $ 22,409,500 The Company executed an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement on February 15, 2021 (as amended the “Loan Agreement”) with MidFirst Bank (“the Bank”), which includes multiple loans. Term Loan #1 Tranche A (“Term Loan #1”), originally totaling $13.4 million, has a fixed interest rate of 3.12% with principal and interest payable monthly and a stated maturity date of December 1, 2025. Term Loan #1 is secured by the primary office, warehouse and land. The Loan Agreement also provides a $20.0 million revolving loan (“line of credit”) through April 11, 2023 with interest payable monthly at the Bank-adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a tiered pricing rate based on the Company’s Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio, with a minimum rate of 3.00% (the effective rate was 4.02% at May 31, 2022). On April 11, 2022, the Company executed the Fifth Amendment to the Loan Agreement which temporarily increased the maximum revolving principal amount from $20.0 million to $25.0 million. The temporary increase period began on April 11, 2022 and ends on September 15, 2022, at which time the maximum revolving principal will automatically revert back to $20.0 million. Available credit under the revolving line of credit was approximately $582,300 and $2,276,500 at May 31, 2022 and February 28, 2022, respectively. In addition, the Loan Agreement provides a $6.0 million Advancing Term Loan #1 and a $10.0 million Advancing Term Loan #2. The Advancing Term Loan #1 required interest-only payments through July 15, 2021, at which time it was converted to a 60-month amortizing term loan maturing July 15, 2026. Advancing Term Loan #2 is a 120-month amortizing loan maturing November 19, 2031. The Advancing Term Loans #1 and #2 accrue interest at the Bank-adjusted SOFR plus a tiered pricing rate based on the Company’s Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio, with a minimum rate of 3.00% (the effective rate was 4.02% at May 31, 2022). Adjusted Funded Debt is defined as all long-term and short-term bank debt less the outstanding balance of Term Loan #1. EBITDA is defined in the Loan Agreement as net income plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization expenses. The Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio includes Adjusted Funded Debt to trailing twelve months EBITDA, reduced by specific rental income received from a non-related third party (see Note 3). The $25.0 million line of credit is limited to advance rates on eligible receivables and eligible inventory levels. The advancing term loans and the line of credit accrue interest at a tiered rate based on our Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio. The variable interest pricing tiers are as follows: Pricing Tier Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio SOFR Margin (bps) I > 2.50 330.00 II > 2.00 but < 305.00 III > 1.50 but < 280.00 IV < 255.00 The Loan Agreement contains a provision for our use of the Bank’s letters of credit. The Bank agrees to issue or obtain issuance of commercial or stand-by letters of credit provided that no letters of credit will have an expiry date later than April 11, 2023 and that the sum of the line of credit plus the letters of credit would not exceed the borrowing base in effect at the time. As of May 31, 2022, we had no letters of credit outstanding. The Loan Agreement also contains provisions that require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios and limits any additional debt with other lenders. Additionally, the Loan Agreement places limitations on the amount of dividends that may be distributed and the total value of stock that can be repurchased using advances from the line of credit. The following table reflects aggregate future scheduled maturities of long-term debt during the next five fiscal years and thereafter as follows: Years ending February 28 (29), 2023 $ 1,878,900 2024 2,567,300 2025 2,622,300 2026 10,469,300 2027 1,517,700 Thereafter 5,329,200 Total $ 24,384,700 |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share [Text Block] | Note 5 Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period excluding nonvested restricted stock awards. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of issued unvested restricted stock awards and additional potential common shares issuable under stock warrants, restricted stock and stock options. We utilized the treasury stock method in computing the potential common shares issuable under stock warrants, restricted stock and stock options. The computation of weighted average common and common equivalent shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS is shown below: Three Months Ended May 31, 2022 2021 Earnings: Net earnings applicable to common shareholders $ 215,800 $ 3,438,100 Weighted average shares: Weighted average shares outstanding-basic 8,086,427 8,029,264 Issuance of nonvested restricted shares 387,183 452,716 Weighted average shares outstanding-diluted 8,473,610 8,481,980 Earnings per share: Basic $ 0.03 $ 0.43 Diluted $ 0.03 $ 0.41 |

Share-Based Payment Arrangement, Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Disclosure of Share-Based Compensation Arrangements by Share-Based Payment Award [Table Text Block] | Note 6 We account for share-based compensation whereby share-based payment transactions with employees, such as stock options and restricted stock, are measured at estimated fair value at the date of grant. For awards subject to service conditions, compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. Awards subject to performance conditions are attributed separately for each vesting tranche of the award and are recognized ratably from the service inception date to the vesting date for each tranche. Forfeitures are recognized when they occur. The probability of restricted share awards granted with future performance conditions is evaluated at each reporting period and share awards are updated and compensation expense is adjusted based on updated information. In July 2018, our shareholders approved the Company’s 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2019 LTI Plan”). The 2019 LTI Plan established up to 600,000 shares of restricted stock available to be granted to certain members of management based on exceeding specified net revenues and pre-tax performance metrics during fiscal years 2019, 2020 or 2021. The Company exceeded all defined metrics during these fiscal years and 600,000 shares were granted to members of management according to the Plan. The granted shares under the 2019 LTI Plan “cliff vest” after five years from the fiscal year that the defined metrics were exceeded. In July 2021, our shareholders approved the Company’s 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2022 LTI Plan”). The 2022 LTI Plan establishes up to 300,000 shares of restricted stock available to be granted to certain members of management based on exceeding specified net revenues and pre-tax performance metrics during fiscal years 2022 and 2023. The number of restricted shares to be distributed depends on attaining the performance metrics defined by the 2022 LTI Plan and may result in the distribution of a number of shares that is less than, but not greater than, the number of restricted shares outlined in the terms of the 2022 LTI Plan. Restricted shares granted under the 2022 LTI Plan “cliff vest” after five years from the fiscal year that the defined metrics were exceeded. During fiscal year 2019, the Company granted 308,000 restricted shares under the 2019 LTI Plan with an average grant-date fair value of $9.94 per share. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, 5,000 of these restricted shares were forfeited. These shares were made available to be reissued to remaining participants upon forfeiture. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, 10,000 of these restricted shares were forfeited, along with 969 additional shares purchased with dividends received from original issue date. The fiscal year 2023 forfeitures will not be reissued under the 2019 LTI Plan. The remaining compensation expense for the outstanding awards, totaling approximately $472,900, will be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting period of approximately 9 months. During fiscal year 2021, the Company granted 297,000 restricted shares under the 2019 LTI Plan, including the 5,000 aforementioned shares that were previously forfeited and held in Treasury, with an average grant-date fair value of $6.30 per share. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, 5,000 of these restricted shares were forfeited, along with 211 additional shares purchased with dividends received from original issue date. These shares will not be reissued under the 2019 LTI Plan. The remaining compensation expense of these awards, totaling approximately $1,062,000, will be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting period of approximately 33 months. As of May 31, 2022, no shares have been granted under the 2022 LTI Plan. A summary of compensation expense recognized in connection with restricted share awards follows: Three Months Ended May 31, 2022 2021 Share-based compensation expense $ 261,600 $ 261,600 The following table summarizes stock award activity during the first three months of fiscal year 2023 under the 2019 LTI Plan: Shares Weighted Average Fair Value (per share) Outstanding at February 28, 2022 600,000 $ 8.14 Granted - - Vested - - Forfeited (15,000 ) 8.73 Outstanding at May 31, 2022 585,000 $ 8.12 As of May 31, 2022, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested granted or issued restricted shares was $1,534,900, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of 25.6 months. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 8 We have two reportable segments: Usborne Books & More (“UBAM”) and Publishing. These reportable segments 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. Our UBAM segment markets its products through a network of independent sales consultants using a combination of internet sales, direct sales, home shows and book fairs. Our Publishing segment markets its products to retail accounts, which include book, school supply, toy and gift stores and museums, trade and specialty wholesalers, through commissioned sales representatives and our internal tele-sales group. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the rest of the Company. We evaluate segment performance based on earnings before income taxes of the segments, which is defined as segment net revenues reduced by cost of sales and direct expenses. Corporate expenses, depreciation, interest expense and income taxes are not allocated to the segments but are listed in the “Other” row below. Corporate expenses include the executive department, accounting department, information services department, general office management, warehouse operations and building facilities management. Our assets and liabilities are not allocated on a segment basis.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Presentation The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim condensed financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, unless otherwise disclosed herein. Accordingly, the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended February 28, 2022 included in our Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year due to the seasonality of our product sales. |
Reclassification, Comparability Adjustment [Policy Text Block] | Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 2022 condensed statement of cash flows to conform to the classifications used in fiscal 2023. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings. |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | New Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) periodically issues new accounting standards in a continuing effort to improve standards of financial accounting and reporting. We have reviewed the recently issued accounting standards updates (“ASU”) and concluded that the following recently issued accounting standards apply to us: In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04: Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This update provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease potential accounting impacts associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, such as London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). This ASU includes practical expedients for contract modifications due to reference rate reform. Generally, contract modifications related to reference rate reform may be considered an event that does not require remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination at the modification date. This ASU is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. With the execution of the Fifth Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Loan Agreement the Benchmark Replacement for LIBOR is defined as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR") published by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The change from LIBOR to SOFR did not require remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination and did not have a material impact to our condensed financial statements. |

The Company exceeded all defined metrics during these fiscal years and 600,000 shares were granted to members of management according to the Plan. The granted shares under the 2019 LTI Plan “cliff vest” after five years from the fiscal year that the defined metrics were exceeded.In July 2021, our shareholders approved the Company’s 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2022 LTI Plan”). The 2022 LTI Plan establishes up to 300,000 shares of restricted stock available to be granted to certain members of management based on exceeding specified net revenues and pre-tax performance metrics during fiscal years 2022 and 2023. The number of restricted shares to be distributed depends on attaining the performance metrics defined by the 2022 LTI Plan and may result in the distribution of a number of shares that is less than, but not greater than, the number of restricted shares outlined in the terms of the 2022 LTI Plan. | |||
