If a book doesn't have a wishlist button it means it is available for order right now in the system. If you aren't ready to order it at this time but want to keep track of it add it to your reminder list. It will show you how many copies are available etc.

If you have specific books you want even if they are available you can psot them in your profile. Just go to > My Account> Settings. You can make a list of any books you want and let your swap partner know to look in your profile.

Jennifer, I'm a little confused by your post. PBS is not a "swapping" site (as in trading one-on-one), per se, unless you have subscribed to Box-O-Books, where you trade directly with other members.

For the standard transactions, you use credits with which to "buy" or "sell" books. When you successfully send a book to another member, you'll receive one credit (two for audio books). With that credit, you can request a book that is posted into the system, or you can save it so that when one of your Wish List books comes up, you can order it. (Of course, you also get the introductory credits when you post your minimum number of books.) Credits can also be purchased at the kiosk.

If you're looking for a book, search for it in the search bar at the top of the page. If it's in the system, you can order it right away or add it to your reminder list (as stated above). If it's not available, you can put it on your Wish List and wait "in line" for a copy.
