Not much help for those of us who are anxious, but they did acknowledge it. :) I only asked FamilySearch, but OCLC was there too so I guess I ought to have asked them. I believe that it is being done though and just reconciled myself to wait like everything else.

I alerted Dave Harding to your post. You can also see the thread I was part of where there were some complaints earlier this year. https://getsatisfaction.com/familysearch/topics/family_search_books_is_a_total_flop I talked to a FamilySearch Books manager at ALA 2013 and he said that they have 90,000 books or added that many or something. He acknowledged that it is not a finished product for user interface either, but I hope they will address your specific concern of waiting 3 years for a book. I know their was a space issue that was resolved several months ago so I am not sure why your book would not appear.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108246378388789103noreply@blogger.com
