As a public library director, the best advice I can give is for you to ask at your local public library. As several people have mentioned, libraries will borrow from each other (including seminaries) to get you the book. Also, we will sometimes purchase the book if we think others might read it as well. How do we think others might read it? Well, if we have people asking for the book or books on a topic – then we might buy it. I review books for Library Journal – many religious titles are only appropriate for larger public libraries and academic libraries. But some are appropriate for even small libraries. The bottom line – ask, ask, ask. That’s why we are here!

amazon.com’s kindle store allows you to read a sample of the books on the kindle store. this is a great way to get a feel for a book before reading it. in addition the kindle version is usually much cheaper than buying the book in paperback. i know that the kindle costs a lot ($359) but if you have an ipod touch/iphone, you use the free the kindle app on the itunes store. i feel like a billboard for amazon and apple right now but i have really enjoyed reading different books this way over the past week or two.

oh yeah, google books is awesome. i haven’t used project gutenburg (gutenburg.org) but it has over 27000 free ebooks.
