Can I offer my Wish Listed book to a specific member?

Yes! If you have a book that is on someone's Wish List, then all you need to do to offer that book directly to that member (and NOT to the first person on the Wish List) is to go to the member's Wish List and click the button there to Post the book as a direct offer to that person. Be sure the ISBN on your book matches the ISBN on her Wish List!

If you are enrolled in Standard Annual Membership, you'll have the Friends Direct feature enabled on your account, which will let you offer the book to a Friend easily, right from the Post Books screen.

To use Friends Direct:

You need to be enrolled in Standard Annual Membership
Just go to the Post Books page and enter the ISBN into the space there
If any Friends are actively wishing for that ISBN, you will see their names on the right side of the Post Books screen. You can choose a Friend OR choose to post "FIFO" (to offer the book to the first wishing member in the queue). Then post as usual.

To offer the book via the Wish List:

To get to a member's Wish List - use the button on your Friends List or on her Forum Post or click her name in a Personal Message or on a transaction in your Transaction Archive, to go to her Profile or Bookshelf (both of which have a link to her Wish List). Or, if you are a Standard member and the other member is on your Friends list, you will be shown her name when you post the book and can choose to post directly to her (or any other wishing Friend) that way.

Please note:

Your book will be offered to that member first, no matter where she is in the Wish List for that book.
If that member does not request the book, it will then be offered to the first person on the Wish List and continue to be offered until someone requests it or until it is Posted into the general library.

If you have trouble with this (if the book is offered to/requested by someone other than your friend after you post it), these are the possibiities:

You did not use the "Post this Book" button *on your friend's Wish List* to post the book
Your friend failed to respond and the offer passed to the first wisher on the Wish List
Your friend clicked "I do not want this book" or "Not Now" on the offer, and the offer passed to the first wisher on the Wish List
Your friend does not have credits and his/her account is on Vacation Hold with the book on auto-request (during Vacation Hold, the auto-request will not convert to a 48-hour offer).
Your friend requested it, but you declined for Requestor Conditions
If you can't see her Wish List - your friend has chosen to keep that private using her Privacy Controls.
