I read an article in the paper recently about this vegan author/triathlete which piqued my interest so I thought I would try to find this book they discuss. I find it odd that there is a "newly released edition" because all of the book stores around me do not carry nor can they order said book. It appears to be out of publication and the cashier suggested ordering a used copy online. I decide that I'd rather check out his writing style before I commit to an online purchase and head over to the library to borrow one of his other books.
I look up the catalogue number on the computer and off I go down the aisles in search of my treasure. Piece of paper in hand I stand and stare at the same shelf for a good 5 minutes as I'm determined to find this damn book. I'm in section 613.26 searching for BRA but to no avail. As some of you may know I'm the WORST looker EVER! Seriously, there could be an elephant standing on my foot and I'd still be like "I CAN'T find the elephant, where IS it"? I swear my eyes went to the 614's and 615's and everywhere in between but I could still not find the bloody book. Didn't we learn the Dewey Decimal System in like grade 2? Luckily the librarian was able to find it in ohhhhh about 5 seconds (which made me feel stupid) but in my defence she went down the wrong aisle to begin with. I was like "ummm it's over in this section"!
I'm hoping it will be full of useful information but if nothing else I am excited to try some new veggie recipes as this particular book seems to have 100 tucked between the pages! Now I just have to read the book........how many weeks did they give me?!?

I once found a bra in a library in Theoretical Physics section. It smelled like body lotion.
Looking forward to your review of the book! Keep us posted on the good recipes!
I believe that the standard library borrowing time is 3 weeks. ;) But you can renew! Online often. (I love libraries.)
Yah, def keep us posted with good veggie recipes!
Yrautca, that made me laugh so hard! How random and odd LOL!
Rawbean, I will I took a small peak and they look yummy!
Christielli, 3 weeks phew! That will surely give me enough time to read this book.
I hate that damn dewey decimal system! lol
You are the WORST LOOKER EVER!!
I actually also saw that article and clipped it for a team mate who struggles to advance in sports.... not because she's a vegan... but probably because she's doing the vegan thing all wrong (every time I try to suggest something, she gets defensive).
Let me know how the book is, if it's good I'll recommend it.... though I assume she'll somehow find a way to turn it into me being anti-vegan. I hand make soap that's suitable for vegans as a hobby - how vegan unfriendly could I be?!

I miss the dewey decimal system, but granted I haven't been in a library in years.
Jlee, Ha!
Jennifer, I know first hand how accomodating you are when it comes to odd eating habits so your teammate clearly just needs something to whinge about! I'll let you know how the book is :)
Wiwille, I know it's odd I used to go all of the time and now I can barely remember where the hell the bloody thing is....the library that is.
Maybe thats why you couldnt find his book at Chapters either then when we looked the other day. (Just kidding)....
Im with Christielli - I LOVE libraries too. I thought i was the only one left....we're the last of a dying breed.
