can I make a book that book?

Hello~ Can you help me say this naturally please? ;-)


In the library

A: I made a book for ‘Economics skill’ book last week, is it available now?


B: Let me check it for you… Oh, someone hasn’t returned yet. But we have one same book that suppose to be returned tomorrow.


A: ⓐThen, can I make a book that book?
ⓑThen, can I book that book?
ⓒThen, can I reserve that book?


B: Ok, we will send you e-mail as soon as it gets.

Libraries usually offer reservations to be placed for books which are on loan.

Thanks for you help :-D

Sorry but if it is reservation how should I ask them when I want to reserve book?

May be ⓒ is correct? or would you tell me how to say?

A: ⓐThen, can I make a book that book?
ⓑThen, can I book that book?
ⓒThen, can I reserve that book?

As suggeste in red.

Thanks for the help :-D

I changed this sentence according to your reply.
Would you please check if it's correct?

A: I reserved ‘Economics skill’ book last week, is it available now?

And...

If I want to use 'Would'... can I say like this?

Would you help me to reserve this book for me?

A: I reserved ‘Economics skill’ book last week, is it available now? You are not reserving, in active form it is the job of librarian. So you use the passive verb: The ‘Economics skill’ book was reserved by me last week, is it available now?

And...

If I want to use 'Would'... can I say like this?

Would you help me to reserve this book for me?:tick:
