How do I buy Saver Passes for train travel in France

I have been on the TGV website and looked through Steve's book. Is there a phone number I can call; I can't seem to figure out where to purchase Saver Passes; in other words, the pass where you pay one sum for unlimited travel in France for set number of days.

You cannot buy passes on the TGV site. You can buy them on this site. Click on the "Railpasses" tab at the top of the page you're reading now. However, SNCF (French National Rail) limits the number of seats on TGVs that it allocates for passholders. If you wait until you get to France to buy seat reservations, you may not be able to get them for the departure times of your choice. Besides, if you can commit to specific departure dates and times, you can get discount fares for point-to-point tickets that will be cheaper than a pass. Book ASAP (up to three months allowed).
