**We support and encourage your support of local independent booksellers. We also recognize that some students don’t have access to bookstores that order textbooks for our program and/or books by our regular and visiting faculty. Sites such as Amazon.com offer a convenience. If you intend to purchase a book or books through Amazon, using the supplied online links will take you directly to Amazon.com. Furthermore, ordering via the links on this website brings in a small percentage of the purchase price to whidbeystudents.com.
