Is there any way to know how many copies exist of a book that has been requested? I think the one book I've requested has been through at least 5 or 6 people by now and still no one has accepted my request. The book is in the system--I just dont' know how many copies are available. The only requestor condition I have is that it come from a non-smoking home and I did clarify it to specify that I meant only if there are active smokers in the house where the book currently resides. I really really want to read this book and it seems I might not get it. I'd at least like to know how many copies of the book are available. If everyone turns down the request (although I don't know why the request keeps being turned down), does it revert back to the first person it was requested from? |

You can add it to your reminder list and it will tell you how many copies are in the system. And if it was turned down b/c of a requestor condition it won't revert back to them. |

Letting a book time out helps weed out the inactive accounts. But it's tiring when it goes past a couple people. You could post in book bazaar what you are looking for and most likely you'll find someone active with the book. I had a book about to time out on it's 2nd person. I posted in book bazaar. I found someone who had it and I ordered it right from her shelf and she mailed it that same day. I cancelled the 1st request before I ordered it direct from the one who responded to my post. I would put in your post that you have a no-smoking condition. What book are you looking for? |
