STAA BOOK ORDERING NOTES
This is a nonconsumable text so ordering a used copy is a great idea to save money. Siblings can easily share the same book. When ordering this book new or used, make sure you order the FIFTH EDITION. All that is needed is the FIFTH EDITION student textbook.
The MasteringAstronomy subscription that is offered by Amazon and often paired with this title is intended for college students. St. Thomas Aquinas Academy does not use the MasteringAstronomy website/subscription.
