Why does Audax Legatum republish old books?

We believe that that knowledge has value. Whether that value is sentimental, intrinsic, or historic, it is important that that knowledge is protected and preserved. Audax Legatum exists to make sure that these classic titles are able to exist in perpetuity.

Why does Audax Legatum give away free digital versions of many of their titles?

This is a common misconception. We do not give away free copies of our titles. We offer free copies of the base text used to produce our titles. Since Audax Legatum specializes in reprinting out-of-print and/or public domain works, these base texts do not belong to us anyway. These base texts belong to all. Our works have additional commentary and offer additional clarity to the base texts. We hope that people interested in the base text, if requiring a printed version of the text, would consider purchasing our titles.

Why are Audax Scientia textbooks so inexpensive?

Contrary to what mainstream publishers want you to believe, high-quality textbooks do not need to be expensive! Much of the expense that mainstream publishers incur in the production of their curriculums come from all of the added features and media they try and incorporate. Mainstream publishers often either deliberately handicap their basic textbooks so that the supplemental materials are necessary or they only over their textbooks as bundles with these features.

The Audax Team is mostly made up of current or former educators. As any one of our team members can tell you, most teachers do not appreciate the difficulty and complication associated with using these supplemental materials. If the textbook was good enough, there would be no need for all of these expensive supplementals. Audax Scientia’s textbooks are that good, and they are affordable for all.

Can I replace my school’s textbooks with Audax Scientia’s textbooks?

Yes! Our textbooks are all based on Common Core and Arizona Standards (our publishing house is based in Arizona). Our textbooks are also written by expert educators, tried and tested in real classrooms, and can meet the needs of any classroom that requires the use of either Common Core or Arizona Standards.
