The soc.culture.jewish Reading Lists have associations with Amazon.com and Artscroll. The presence of an Amazon () or Artscroll () tag on a list item means the item is available from the indicated vendor. There is always the possibility that the items status has changed since the tag was added; in particular, items may have moved to special order, backorder, or on-order status. If you have corrections to the tag, or want to provide a synopsis of the book, please drop a note to maintainer@scjfaq.org.
