I'm not sure if everyone is aware, but if you click on the author's name link on your wishlist page, it will show you what books of theirs are in the system. I have found many a WL book in that way. This only works for books that were posted BEFORE the new updated version of PBS went into effect.

Now, if  a different version of your book is put in the system then you receive a courtesy email letting you know. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all check our books and clear out the WL books on people's shelves?

I really really appreciate this tip B/C I just found three books I had on my wish list that are available with different ISBN's..... so thank you!

that's very helpful. Thanks!

The courtesy email system doesn't always work (it doesn't necessarily catch all the different versions), though  it does help - but it's still worth checking manually as Debbie described.

thanks a million for the idea, i found 2 books that were on my wishlist for quite a while.

Cool, thank you. 

Just in case someone has not heard......Clicking on the author's name in other places now brings up a list of books published by that author, sorted by publication date.  If the book is posted, the link is green, otherwise red.  Clicking the link for a book tries to bring up all listings of the same title.

The same color code applies for the similar books in Book Details screen.

I knew this before, just haven't done it recently.  Didn't find anything from my wishlist, but I found 2 books to order.. Geez...lol. :)

wow thanks! I found one of mine too! :)

I'm learning new things everyday. After I discovered the forums, anyway. Thanks so much! I found a book that I had on my WL that I really needed...okay wanted.

Thanks so much for the tip! I found a book I was #8 on the WL for in paperback, and the hardback was just sitting out there! :D

Such a wonderful little idea, isn't it!?1?! And so many people overlook it! 

thank you so much for posting this!  the first WL book i checked, had a copy with a different ISBN in the system!
