Next year, though, we'll be rolling in the dough, so I'll be able to buy whatever books I want! ;)Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16131491719125173350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-50472040896100609592011-12-15T12:22:01.324-06:002011-12-15T12:22:01.324-06:00shoot, that reminded me of a book give-away yester...shoot, that reminded me of a book give-away yesterday I forgot about. <br /><br />My MIL, a librarian, recently acquired two hard-covered Lang's Fairy Tale books, with the first edition engravings. A patron donated them to the library, the children's department said they weren't children's books (!?) and sent them to adult fiction, who didn't want them either. Moral: don't donate books to the library and make sure you're related to a librarian.<br /><br />Leah, I'm sure you can get it through your state's inter-library loan. A WorldCat search shows 10 copies (from all three editions)within a 100 miles from me. Ask your reference librarian and she can help. Do this only if you're good about returning library books, because the fees for returning a University loaned book late get steep. My husband is always returning out-of-print books from universities all over the Midwest late, and we probably would save money just buying them.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00238246037896274014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-1325751310649301752011-12-15T08:36:10.708-06:002011-12-15T08:36:10.708-06:00No. Libraries only stock books that are easy to re...No. Libraries only stock books that are easy to read, or that are supportive of the zeitgeist (like, I'm sure you'll find something by Marcel Proust in every library in the country). In fact, they are selling off all of their important books to make room for more knock-offs of Twilight. <br /><br />The good news is that these sales make it a lot cheaper to stock your home library. ;)Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546489539063088564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-60214552624972168212011-12-15T08:06:55.767-06:002011-12-15T08:06:55.767-06:00Why is it that the books you all recommend can'...Why is it that the books you all recommend can't be found at any of the libraries where I have been a patron?
