I sometimes have books given to me that I enjoy.  I then go through the search process to see if it is listed on PBS.  If it is already there I put it in a pile to pass on to the thrift shop.  Is there any way to tell if there are 5 copies or 50 of a title?  If only a few I might go ahead and post it.  Any ideas?  Thanks

If you add the book to your Reminder List you can see the number of copies in the system on that list.

I added a book to my reminder pile & it tells you how many copies are posted.

Misread the post. Didn't get enough sleep last night.

I agreed with the others. Putting it on your reminder list is the only way.

But considering that 5,074 were mailed today, 30 copies of one title will move way faster than 3 of another. I have never found any rhyme or reason to what gets ordered from my shelf. Books that I am sure will move quickly sit, and others get ordered sooner than I would have guessed.

Yep.  In the past week I had two requests for books that have been on my shelf for what seems like forever.  I was planning to drop them off with other slow moving books at the local Salvation Army this weekend.  Hmmmm...maybe I'll hold on to them for just a little bit longer, LOL.
