Re: can I make a book that book?
Libraries usually offer reservations to be placed for books which are on loan.

Re: can I make a book that book?
Thanks for the help 
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?
ok
