Buying books.....

Hi!

I've noticed quite a lot on here people saying "Yeah I'll buy the book!" or "That sounds great...I've have to buy the book!"

Surely as we're all trying to save a bit of moola here...it'd be best just to visit the library? :confused:

Hehe!

    I guess it depends on the book - if it's say a recipe book that will enable you to make lots more things from scratch then it's worth it for example. Anything that will be kept, used and referred to lots it probably worth buying - in terms of just reading however, yes we should be going to the library

    Or if your town libray is anything like mine, its absolutely terrible, so its never has anything I'm actually looking for. Especially newer titles!
    Wealth is not measured by currency
  • You can order books from your library mine charge about 35p a book. If you need a recipe go to UKTV food site they have loads there no need to buy a recipe book.
  • I have not bought a book in ages. My little local library does just fine - and only if I REALLY wanna read something that never seems to be available I'll book it online and reserve it (for 60p)
