According to the FAQ, A PC wizard can find an NPC wizard who is willing to charge a fee for access to his spellbook. Now, apparently this is supposed to be rare; are PCs not supposed to be able to look around Absalom / the Pathfinder Lodge to find a wizard willing to do this?
PC Witches, too, can learn new spells via finding a willing NPC Witch and familiar. Are they able to pay an NPC witch gold to learn new spells in a way similar to PC wizards?

Between sessions, "rare" and "supported by the rules and not impossible" mean the same thing.

All other methods of gaining new spells (such as by gaining a level or purchasing access to an NPC's spellbook) function as described in the Core Rulebook and relevant class descriptions.
The relevant class description says "Most witches require a spell of equal or greater level in return for this service". Provided that the witch can supply a spell of the same or greater level that is not known by all witches (which it is hard to imagine she wouldn't be able to do) the rules list no cost. Nothing would therefore prevent a witch from learning all available spells between two sessions. This is clearly not the intended outcome, so I doubt a witch can use this method.

Helpful to me, too.
Please take into account that this ruling is now over 10 years old, and referenced 1st edition which, obviously, doesn't have a "rarity" system.
From the Lorespire (Purchasing/Spells);
"Any prepared spellcaster can use the Learn a Spell activity to learn any common spells or other spells they have access to from tutors at the Grand Lodge. This adds no additional material cost beyond the standard cost for the Learn a Spell activity. Having access to a scroll does not grant access to the spell, but a character with access to a scroll can buy a scroll and learn the spell from it."
