Overview
The wish list system is designed to allow you to add books to a wish list for future reference. You can create multiple wish lists, control the sharing visibility of those lists, and choose to share the list via Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and email.
Adding Items to a List
To add an item to a wish list click on the Add to Wish list button or link on the book page. If you do not have a wish list already, one will automatically be created for you and the item will be added to it. If you already have a list you will be shown a popup which allows you to select which list you would like to add the item to. If you want to add the item to a new wish list, you can choose to create a new wish list and add the item all in one step.
If you are not logged in as a registered user, your list will be created as a temporary list. Temporary lists are based on cookies and will be available only on the same computer and browser you used when the item was created. If you clear your cookies, or the cookie has expired, your list will no longer be accessible. If you do add items to a temporary list you can always logon and the lists will automatically saved to your account. Once a list has been saved to your account, it will remain until you delete it.
