Library charges. Our library charges 50p to reserve a book which it has access to. However, if it has to order a copy specially because it's not in stock then they charge £3.50.0

Haven't seen the Penny pinchers one but I got TWG from Amazon and keep dipping into it (although the universal casserole recipe doesn't work well with leftover rice - spuds would be better)“the princess jumped from the tower & she learned that she could fly all along. she never needed those wings.”

We are charged .15p per reservation, whether it comes from another library or not. I am so thankful our library is cheap, I reserve books all the time - can't say how much it has saved me from buying a book I really didn't need!!:happylove0 -

actually, just out of interest since there's so many people on this thread that have read or have the tightwad gazette, has anyone tried the recipe for Cuban Bread? I did twice, but couldn't get it to work at all, wayyyyy too much flour. Has anyone else got it to work?...0

I had to laugh & Moggins & Chipps, dropping books in the bath. I once lent my MIL Maureen Lipmans biography, it was a hard back copy & a b'day gift from my kids. MIL dropped it in the bath & was getting her self in a terrible state trying to get hold of another copy. Til I offered to lend her a recipe book she wanted, but explained it was a bit wrinkled as I'd dropped it in the bath. She was so relieved.
