Can anyone tell me how to print out the top 50 wish list from the club?  Would be a great thing to carry with you at all times, never know when the garage sale of the century will pop up!

I have no problem printing out a persons wish list, but the site doesn't make it that easy to do just club top 50.

Thanks in advance.

Can you maybe copy and paste the list to a notebook entry and print that? I do that frequently. You can control the size of the font and it saves ink by not printing graphics.

Yes, a person can do that, but its a lot of work.  I am hoping the "powers to be" will read this and fix the site up to make it easier for everyone to do it.   Thats the list everyone should carry with them. Don't get me wrong, its a GREAT site !!

It's really not that hard. Highlight the list, hit copy, open notebook, hit paste, hit print.

I realize it isn't that hard, but you still don't have the ISBN's for that book, as it could be hardcover or paperback. Plus you are printing out images you don't really need. Ratings, etc. Lot of wasted ink.  When you print a person's wish list out, you get  ISBN's, Title, and author, everything you need to go on the hunt.

I would like to print the top 50 wishes.   Just title and author.  I am on my way to the library's used book sale.  All I want is a little list, not anything else on it.  Is that available somewhere?

I would like a club wishlist sorted by genre/subgenre.  There's really nothing on the top 50 overall list that I'm interested in reading myself.   And since there's really no profit in buying a book, however cheap, just to post, I'll only buy those I will read.  But if I had a list with the genres I read, I'd  be willing to take a chance on an unfamiliar book, if I knew I'd be able to earn a credit on it right away.
