From finding a book to opening your PDF.

Choose a subject, check what is included and use an email address you can access when you place your order.

1. Choose a title

Browse the collections or search for a subject. Read the description to understand the scope, format and included material. Check available sample pages before deciding.

2. Complete checkout

Review the ebooks and quantities in your cart. The checkout shows the applicable price and total. Enter an email address you can access, since the digital order information is sent there.

3. Find your download email

After checkout, look for the digital download email associated with your order. Follow its link and instructions. An order confirmation and a download message may be separate emails, so check for the download message itself.

4. Save and open your PDF

Save the file to a location you can find again. Open it with a compatible PDF reader. Phone, tablet and computer layouts differ, and fixed-page books may be easier to read on a larger screen.

5. Use the parts that help

Read a section, revisit an example or use a printable page where that is included. You do not need to complete every exercise in order to choose a practical next step.
