When it comes to books, are your eyes bigger than your bed stand? Luckily, you can use our wish lists to remind yourself of what to read next!
OR you can email these lists to friends and family so they know the perfect gift to give you for any occasion or need--like weddings, birthdays, baby showers, holidays, your classroom library, and more!
You can even set it up like a registry so that you never get the same book twice.
Teachers, are you looking to recommend books to your students? Check out the options on this page.
Here’s what you need to know about setting up a wish list:
First, you must have an account with us.
Once you are logged into your account, search or browse for a book and click on ‘Add to Wish List.’ A pop-up box will come up where you can Create a Wish List, or add a new one if you have already created one.
Alternately, if you follow the link to “My Account” in the top right corner, you can access the Wish List tab there, start a new one, name it, and add a prepared list of ISBNS (See bulk upload instructions below)!
Remember to add qtys so you get the exact number of copies you’d like. When someone purchases from the list, the qty is automatically decremented.
To share your Wish List, see “email your wishlist” instructions below.
