Yeah, I used them extensively for a while, but they seem to have dried up. I never get notifications of books available lately :( Maybe I want stuff that's too obscure? Or the algorithm is complicated and wants me to send stuff out before it will send stuff to me, even though I have a heap of points I'm trying to use up before I gain any more?

I'm still finding them pretty useful, and I search for a lot of obscure books, mainly on autism, rather than queer studies. Maybe it's worth going through and doing a search for related editions for the ones on your wishlist? That's got a lot better in the last couple of years.
