You cannot remove wishlist books from your shelf. You will have to wait until they are accepted and then clikc I cannot mail and explain to the other person what happened.  We all make mistakes. I wouldn't let it bother you.

Don't feel bad!  If you cancel, they still retain their place as #1 in the wishlist line, so I am sure they'll get a copy soon enough.

Denise,

You didn't do anything wrong - it was just a glitch with PBS.  This is from the Help Center:

 

Problem: posting an ISBN puts the book onto your bookshelf twice!

Explanation: This happens when there is a server hiccup, or when the posting member clicked "Post book" or "Refresh" while the book-posting was in process.

Solution if the extra listing appears on your bookshelf: delete the extra copy from your bookshelf.

Solution if the book was on a WIsh List and is now involved a pending Wish List hold: Wait for the book to be requested.  Accept the first request, and decline any extra requests by clicking "I cannot mail".  Doing this will remove the extra copies from your account.  You will have a chance to explain what happened to the requestor when you decline a request.

You might also want to watch to see if the WL-ing member declines the book. If no one else is in line, it'll go back to your shelf, and you can delete it then.
