Ordering Information

Enjoy the Convenience of Online Ordering
There are a variety of ways to place your order on our new Web site.
With our new online catalog, it's easier than ever to search by category, author, title, subject, and key words—even item numbers—you'll be able to find what you need in no time. You can add items to your shopping cart simply by clicking on the "Add to Cart" button next to the title.

OR

If you have our paper catalog, try our Quick Order feature at the top right-hand corner of the page. Simply enter in the first item number from the catalog, hit return, and you've started your order. You can continue adding items straight into your shopping cart.

Free Spirit's site is encrypted and secure. Our server uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layers), the most sophisticated online ordering security available. All of the personal information you enter at this site—including your name, address, and credit card number—will be encrypted with SSL. You can safely order online any time, any day of the week.

After placing an online order, you will receive an email confirming the order you have placed.
