However, I've recently discovered www.borrowbooks.ie , which is the inter-library loan service in Ireland. I was looking for four books which I hadn't been able to find in my own library. Found them all on borrowbooks and requested the inter-library loan. Three of them were refused on the grounds that they were already avaiable in my area and would be reserved for me. Can't figure out why they didn't just show up when I searched for them in my library but there you go. I also prefer to use borrowbooks because it's free of charge whereas if I look up a book in my library, it's not there and I want to reserve it, it costs 50c each time. Not a lot but every penny counts.<BR/><BR/>I'm off to check out that book now, thanks for the tip.Moonwaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018956740090192993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942522681264332044.post-7570468608213785972007-07-31T21:22:00.000+01:002007-07-31T21:22:00.000+01:00Hi, I noticed you said you wanted some suggestions...Hi, I noticed you said you wanted some suggestions for good books about canning and preserving? Well, I have found several at my library that are good, but the best ones I have read so far are <BR/>"Preserving" by Oded Schwartz, and "Clearly Delicious" (don't know the author, but DK Publishing)...Hope that might help...Don't forget, if your library doesn't have it, they can probably find them for you on loan!
