I think someone said that Gustavo approves in the
order of submission date, most recent being first.
Which in my opinion is pretty stupid, except that it
gets newly published and most-wanted books into the
collection quickly. But other books sit there for a
long time, and submitters don't get credit for them,
nor do people get a chance to read them. Two books I
validated back in Sept. or Oct. (I've forgotten now)
are still in the queue, and Shelley had said one of
hers from June was, but that situation may have been
remedied.
But if you write to Gustavo directly and ask him to
approve it because someone has requested it and is
waiting to read it, he will, I think, do it.
