Elizabeth, you're asking some great questions. I don't know if Amy knows
about the wish list of books. It certainly would give Amy some ideas about
what our readers are already requesting. There are tons of educational books
being requested on there. I'm going to CC this to Pavi and ask her to pass
this idea along to Amy. I think that's the right channel for presenting the
idea. If not, maybe she'll let us know what to do in the future. For anyone
interested in it, the wish list can be found at
http://www.friendsofbookshare.org/wish_list/wish_list.htm Cindy maintains it
and has been doing so for the past 18 months or so. She updates it regularly
when someone posts a request.

That makes sense. I simply did not understand before. Good explanation.
Do you think any funds will be spent on wish list books?
