Frugal Book List, posted on Feb 8, 1996 From: ho722@cleveland.Freenet.Edu (Kevin T. Jensen) Here is the latest version. Please email me with any comments. My previous email address was bad. The email address attached to this posting should be working well. BOOKS FOR THE FRUGAL LIBRARY Notes: 1. Get books from the Public Library first; Borrow from a friend second; Buy at a Used Book Store third; Buy new fourth. 2. Look for other books by the same author; also look for the most recent/revised edition in print. Each author has only one book mentioned to save on space. 3. Some information is dated and other information is timeless. 4. I am looking for references on Mobile Home Living, furniture upholstering/ repair, alternative communities, & low/no cost legal assistance.
