Is their a way to keep track of bookshelves that I like? I have found a person who has alot of the books I like but I don't have the amount of credits. or I'd like to know when a sender posts new books on their shelf, is there a way to do that?

I don't want to be intrusive and "friend" this person as they don't know me from Adam and I don't want to know all about them, just the books they have.

Ummmm......just make a note of the screen name.

I don't think it would be at all out of line to send the person a PM, asking persmission to "friend" them, stating your reason.  In fact, it might be flattering to the person receiving the request.  If it were me, I'd be happy that somebody was looking at my bookshelf! 

A lot of us friend others for that exact reason, to remember their shelves.

I agree--I wouldn't find it intrusive.  Just send a PM asking if they'd mind if you add them as a friend because you like their shelf and probably would like to order from them in the future when you have credits.  Worst thing that could happen is that for some reason, they'd say "no".

You could also ask for a deal.. Explain you have a few credits, and they have many books you'd like. Offer the deal, do not make it seem like it's an ultimatum.

And send a friend request. 

After you send them a pm place it in your archives.  That's what I do when I like a shelf and want to be able to find it fast. 

If they do friend you , you can tag them in your Friends Section... Favorite Shelves
