"Being a student of life it’s safe to say I’m always reading, because of this my book collection has outgrown my shelves and tapped deep into my pockets. With the bookback app I am able to save space and money, but most importantly I am able to keep doing what I love, read. Usually saving money is hard it’s something you have to go out of the way to do, but with bookback I can do it all from the comfort of my local coffee store. Bookback is here to stay, and change the industry."

This app will be useful for all kinds of readers and scholars, it combines a cherished past time with the digital age we live in.
As a passionate reader and a lover of books, I would read one book every week, only to sell them at garage sales or to used bookstores for prices well below their value. If my books were not sold, they would be stored in my garage, never to be revisited again. Bookback brings together a community of interested readers that allows great books to be circulated in exchange for great value. No longer do my books have to sit idle. In fact, Bookback will continue to feed my curiosity and passion for books and reading in a fun, easy and interactive way. Thank you for providing this service!
Great team - amazing platform. Can’t wait for more!
