How to buy books on-line...

Most of the book and movie links take you to Amazon.com where they may be purchased quickly and easily, often at discount prices.

If you already have an Amazon account, just click the item into your cart. You can either continue shopping on Amazon or return here to select more items. Then follow the usual Amazon checkout procedures.

If you've never shopped online at Amazon.com before,it's safe, easy, and secure. Few "brick & mortar" bookstores have the huge selection Amazon has and it's unlikely you'll find more than a handful of these books at your local bookstore. You can do your shopping—add books to the cart—without obligation. The easiest method for buying is to use a credit card—credit card information is handled over a secure server and is safer that when you hand your card to a clerk in a store. But if you still prefer not to use a credit card online, Amazon does accept payments by check. After years of shopping on Amazon, and dozens of orders, they have my unqualified approval. For more information on first-time shopping follow this link to Amazon's help pages.

Links that take you to bookshops other than Amazon will be clearly marked. Most of these are Civil War specialty bookstores and small-press publishers. Follow their individual instructions for ordering. Civil War St. Louis makes no claims regarding their service but we have shopped at all of them with satisfaction.

Links to ABEBOOKStake you to a used book service with over 30 million books listed from booksellers around the world. It's a great way to find out-of-print and rare titles at good prices. You can purchase directly through ABEBOOKS or from the individual booksellers.
