Books & the Library

I bought a copy of volume 1 of Traditional Bowyers Bible last year. I didn't have enough money left for volumes 2 & 3 so I went to my local library and put in a request for them to find the missing volumes through inter-library loan which only cost $2.00 per book. I checked a couple of weeks later and instead of getting them from another library the whole three volumes were listed as on order for purchase. The city branch of Geelong Regional Library now has the set.

Try it with your library. The more copies available the better. They're great books.

Very interesting Andrea. I'm a member of the Geelong Library too.

They only have volume 1 on the shelf at the moment 'cause I've got 2 & 3 out but they'll be back in a week or three.

Hi Mick and Andrea

Well done Andrea - many people will get a lot from your effort

My personal experience over many years is that if requests for the purchase of particular books is often well received.

Mick - I suggets you get on the waiting list real quick. They are a great set of books.

Thanks but there wasn't actually much effort involved. I just made sure I added the current price & link to the book at Amazon so they could see that it was worth it's value. I didn't even ask them to buy it. They decided that on their own from the information provided.
