I Want To Order Some Books ...

... from Amazon.com.

I DON'T KNOW HOW. 

Can someone help me?

Please, and thanks.

Just go to their website and order away ! ! !

Did you try to do that and your order didn't go thru or something ?

I tried, but failed.

I'm a hopeless luddite.

Sylvia

Just PM Cthulhu on this board......he can hook you up with old JW books.

Think About It

No, thank you!

I'll just keep trying until I'm kicked out.

Books? Books? I got them coming out of my ears.

What sort of books are you looking for? I got 7,000 for sale on Amazon UK. Take your pick.

Have you got an account with Amazon? If not, first you need to create and account and enter your card details. If you prefer to pay by cheque or some other method, there are other sites where you can buy books, such as Biblio, ABE, Alibris, or eBay even.

Just add any books you want to buy to your cart.  When you're ready to order, click "cart" on the top right hand corner of the screen.  It will take you to a screen to input shipping and payment information.  It's so easy, evan a 'baman can do it. 

I want to order some books that are out of print.

I was booted out because I didn't give a shipping address.

I saw no field for entering an address.

I was booted out because I didn't give a shipping address.

Sometimes there is a button where you simply confirm that the shipping address is the same as the invoice address.

I doubt you were booted out.

Sylvia, were these magic grits?  Are we to assume that the laws of physics cease to exist in your kitchen?

I can't remember the term used, SBF, but I couldn't proceed any further.

I became so nervous that I just exited out of there.

John Doe, what on earth do you mean?

Sylvia

You ever see My Cousin Vinny?

I'm out of posts, so I'll reply here.  You should see this movie--you'd like it.  Joe Pesci and Merissa Tomei (sp?) are hilarious.

No, but I understand it's the usual make-fun-of-all-things-Alabama genre.

Snowbird go back and try again .....YOU CAN DO IT ,I think you can i think you can .........

I just ordered four books last night on rock hounding in Colorado , and I can't wait ...they already shipped this morning !  Love amazon !

SBF  what kind of books do you sell .....

All sorts of stuff, empasis on academic books, history, language, economics, business.

After you have created you account go to the Your Account page.  Under the Settings section there's Address Book, click add a new address and fill it in.  Then under Payment section click add a credit card, and fill in your info.

After you've done that add items to your cart then proceed to checkout and you can just select your address and credit card without having to fill them in again.

You should end up finally on the place order page where you can double check and change anything you need before clicking Place Your Order.

Failing that, find a friend and have them buy it for you! :P

Thanks.

I'll give it another try when things settle down a little.

Here might be the problem...

You've said before how you can't access certain photos or videos from your work PC. 

I can go to Amazon, I can browse, review and all that but when it comes time to order, our security software or whatever they use prevents me from completing the order.  I can do everything but process.  I thought it was me, but our IT confirmed it.  No ordering through Amazon on our work computers.

So it might be your company computer system is preventing you...

OH!

That's it.

I feel like such a fool!

Thanks, UC.

Dear Snowbird, my world has known a new dimension since I realized I, too, could order books from Amazon all the way to Spain! I was SO jealous of you, Americans, and it turns out they send them probably anywhere. I started ordering only around 6 weeks ago and it worked wonderfully. Now my shelf is full of great reading material I can't wait to give attention to: "Releasing the bonds", "God is not great" (just began and I'm loving it), "Captives of a concept" (already read), "Good without God" (I read it through along last weekend: dealing with humanism, interesting), "Letters to a nation", "The case for God" (didn't like at all, I found it boring and I'm passing it to a friend), "In search of Christian Freedom"... And at such a good price!

Come on, Sylvia, if I managed, you can too! What a source of entertainment!

By the way, do you have any recommendations for me?

Love you, OLGA.
