Help Center - Why can't I order a book in the *Books Posted Today*?

Search Terms:

The list of Books Posted Today allows our members to see what kinds of books are being posted to the system. The list is searchable by genre, and includes those books that are not currently available to order because they have been offered to Wishing Members or have already been requested.

  • The list is useful for members to see what books may interest them--to order them if the books are available, or to put them on a Wish List if they are not.
  • If you do not see on the Book Details page, then the book is not currently available.
    • It must already have been requested by another member, or if it was on a Wish List, it was offered immediately after posting to the first member wishing for the book.

If you want to see only AVAILABLE books among those that are newly posted:

  • You can click the link to "Only Posted Books" at the top of the Books Posted Today page.  This will hide the unavalable books (those that have already been requested) and show only the ones available to request.
  • You can also go to your Member Homepage, which will show you available newly posted books in the lower sliding display (the upper sliding display is for available books in your specified genre(s)).  The link to the Member Homepage is the Home at the top of the page when you are logged in.

If you would like to have a daily list of all books posted to the database the previous day sent to your email inbox, you can subscribe to the Daily Digest, by clicking the link to the Daily Digest in your Account Settings - at the top of the page when you are on your Settings tab in My Account.
