List It!

List It! is your chance to act as a literary tour guide and share your favorite books with other readers. Use the List It! feature on BookStrand.com privately to help organize your books, or share your lists with the world, and recommend a selection of different books to the rest of the BookStrand community, complete with your comments for each.

To view other customers’ List It! lists, just search for any book on the BookStrand.com homepage.

Scroll down middle of the page. If the book is on another customer’s list, you will see the List It! icon . Click on it to see a page with all the lists that include this book.

Click on each individual list title or on the See All button under each one to view the full list and customer comments.

To create a new list, first log in to your account on BookStrand.com. Click on the My Lists tab of your account.

Under Create a New List, enter the title for your book in the field labeled Title. Examples of possible list titles are “My Favorite Cowboy Books” or “Best Reads for a Lazy Sunday.”

Check the box next to “I want this list to be private and visible only to me” if you want the list to be private. Otherwise, it will be displayed publically as a guide for other users.

When you have entered the title of your list, click Create.

 

Next, you need to add some books to your list. Use the drop down to pick the first book you want to add to the list, and then click Add This Book To The List.

The book will appear on screen. Add some text in the comment box to tell other users why you added this book to your list, and click Save Comment.

 

Use the dropdown at the top of the screen to add more books to your list. When you’re finished, an icon for other users to view your list will display at the bottom of the book page for every book on your list.

Once you have created a new list, you can access any of your lists by clicking on the My Lists tab of your BookStrand account. Next to each list, you will see a button labeled Edit This List. Click on this button next to the list you want to edit.

Here, you can delete a book from the list by clicking on the delete button below it, or edit your comments in the comment box.

To delete a list, go to your account and click on the My Lists tab. Click the button labeled Delete This List next to the list you want to delete.

Public lists are shared so that other users can view your thoughts and comments.

Private lists are not visible to other users, only to you.

To change the privacy level of your list, click on the My Lists tab of your account. Select the radio button next to your desired privacy level.
