HOW DO I ORDER A BOOK?

When you find a book on the SAREC Bookstore website, click on the title to follow a link to amazon.com. Proceed to add your choice to the Shopping Cart. If you are ordering more than one book, hit the "BACK" button on your browser twice before "Checking Out" and pick up the next title from the SAREC Bookstore website. Do this rather than choose another title directly from the amazon.com catalogue (see Pricing Information). In other words, do not click on "Continue Shopping" unless you want to order books directly from Amazon.com. You can cancel or modify your order at any time prior to the finalization process. You can, of course, purchase additional books in other subject areas directly from Amazon.com during the same on-line session.

 

When your Shopping Cart contains all of the items you wish to order, click on the Shopping Cart link found in our navigation bar at the top and bottom of every page. Then, press the button labeled "Proceed to Checkout." This is the beginning of the order finalization process.

Choosing a server
The first screen you will see offers you a choice between our secure and our standard servers. Our secure server technology comes from Netscape but it works with most browsers, including Internet Explorer. It encrypts information, keeping it private and protected. This technology makes it safe to transmit your credit card number over the Internet.

The standard server is what you're using right now. If you choose the standard server to place your order, you can enter just the last five digits of your credit card number on the order form in the space provided. Once you finish and submit your order, you'll be instructed to call or fax us with the complete credit card number. We can then match your name and the credit card number you give us with the order information that you submitted using our Web site. Since we will already have the last five digits of your card number, you won't have to remember any order numbers--just tell us your name and read us your credit card number.

The online order form
Once you have chosen a server, you can begin filling out the online order form. When you have filled out the entire form, you will see a summary of your order. Please review this screen carefully and then press the button labeled "Press this button to submit your order." You must press this button to complete your order. When you do, the next screen will thank you for your order and provide a link to return to the home page. At that moment, e-mail is automatically sent to you, describing your order in detail.
