I have been going to the library alot more lately and found some really good books on saving money. I realize that this is not "exactly" the correct place for this but I would like to know of any particularly enlightening books anyone can recommend to me.
I have already gotten :

The Complete Tightwad Gazette
Miserly Moms

I also like Mary Hunt's living your best life at half the price (or something like that). Cheap, FAst and Good is really good cookbook too!!
