Introduction

      You can buy most of your Schola-required books on-line, right here, through Amazon.com (see the class sections below to see which books are required). It is safe and simple to order books over the internet, and with a savings of up to 40% off the cover price. Simply click on the title of the book you wish to order from the list below, and you will be taken to the secure pages of the Amazon.com site where you will see the price and other information about the title. To order more than one book, place a desired item in your "shopping basket" at the Amazon site, then hit the "Back" button on your brower until you arrive here again. Make another selection and simply add it to your basket. All items you put in the basket will be listed with a total amount.

      You can also do a search from this page for any book you are interested in. See the search form below.

      When purchasing through Amazon.com, your credit card information will be safely encrypted, and your books will be shipped directly to you. If you are concerned about the security of your personal information when ordering over the internet, please visit the Amazon.com payment options, security, and privacy page. To see Amazon's wide range of shipping options, see Amazon.com shipping options.

      If you have questions about your orders or using the Amazon.com system, please direct them to Amazon's home page by clicking the green button at the top of this page. The "mail us" link at the bottom of their pages gives you a list of the appropriate contacts there at Amazon.com.

      If you have questions or comments about the books Schola requires, or if Amazon does not have the book you need, please see the Frequently Asked Questions page, or write to Schola.

      We hope Schola Bookstore makes your book purchasing a bit easier.


      Search Amazon for any book. Use keywords from the title, author's name, or subject. (For books required for Schola courses, use the links below, under each subject. These will take you directly to the correct book.)
