I'm wondering about either Amazon Books, or free online resources that have a list of all the scales that can be played/practiced?

If you search Amazon for books of "guitar scales", dozens come up. But scales are merely a means to an end. What, exactly, is your musical goal in the near term? The answer will narrow your focus.

Just to be a pedant, modes are modes, not scales.

Just to be an esoteric pedant. Modes are also scales. Mode is defined as a type of scale with a specific arrangement of intervals.
