Dear Group:

Is anyone succesfully using the Amazon "wishlist" feature to create
lists of items for potential donors?  I set one up for our library and
my Library Dean tested it by purchasing a few books...but I found--

1)  I rec'd no notification a gift had been purchased.
2)  The book did not always remove itself from the wishlist (once
purchased)
3)  I'm not sure how to keep our library liaisons from accidentally
buying the same books (from other jobbers)!

If anyone is having success with this feature, I would like to hear from
you.  Or if you have heard of something better than the Amazon wishlist
that you could recommend, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you.
