I agree. Our library, and many around the country (in the US, at least) over inter-library borrowing and online ordering/reserving of books. So I have borrowed pretty much all that's available in the way of soapmaking books in our state. We even used to be able to borrow from the next state over, but not now. Anyway, it's a great way to evaluate a book to see if you want to own it; then you can purchase a new copy from whatever book sales source you prefer.
