Monica,
To make you feel better--and perhaps you are the one who suggested this a while
ago, since July I've been keeping track of Wish list requests that have been
filled, i.e., added to the collection. I post a list here at the end of every
month of books that were added that month, and I send the whole list to Jim,
who has agreed to post it on the Friends site. Julie, would you be willing to
post it on your site, too? I convert it to html? That list is slowly getting
longer, too.
