I’m not arguing with what you say, Janet. But when I send in my list, I put the
catalogue number, the title and the author and in the past RNIB have just
worked their way down my list, so I am baffled why they are currently sending
me all these books from the Inspector Rebus series.
In the current version of New Books, readers were asked to re-subscribe if they
still wished to receive this publication and inferred that most people are
content to have their books chosen for them. Personally, I much to prefer to
chose what I am going to read.

Hi I don’t know if this is of any use but I believe when you pick an author
their computer will give you everything by them. I think the same thing
happens with series of books they will tell you it is all computer generated so
they can’t even note that you don’t want any particular books – or at least
that’s what they told me. sorry if this is of no use. Janet

Something weird is happening at the moment.
I periodically send in my talking book wish list to RNIB which is usually about
4 or 5 pages in length. As the books arrive, I tick them off.
Since Christmas I am being inundated with Inspector Rebus books. Okay, I like
this series but I spread them throughout my wish list but I currently hold 3
CDs which are all Inspector Rebus stories. They were not on the list I sent in
so I am wondering what is going on.
Also, I was sent a book which was not on my list but whose synopsis I read via
Easyreader. I am wondering whether by reading this synopsis, it was
automatically added to my wish list.
Has anyone else had similar issues?
I would ask on the RNIB Arena e-mail list but have mislaid the list address.
