This is the textbook for the Logical Thinking Process on-line course. Some of you may already have a copy of that book. Those who don’t will have to order the book on-line. It’s available through Amazon, both new and used (hardcover) and Kindle (digital).

Amazon is the service most likely to have it available for immediate shipping. However, they don’t maintain stock on hand sufficient to satisfy even 20 simultaneous orders. It could take up to three weeks (possibly longer) for them to restock. So, if you don’t already have a copy of the textbook, you should order it immediately and delay your registration until you have the book in hand.

You should purchase whichever version is most comfortable for you to use. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. The only requirement for the course is that you read the appropriate chapter when prompted to do so in the on-line presentation. For Chapter 1, that would be AFTER going through the Introduction. All other reading assignments should be completed BEFORE viewing the online presentation.
