ShelfSwap: Book Trading Nearby

Your bookshelf is full. Your wallet is empty. Sound familiar?

ShelfSwap connects you with fellow readers in your neighborhood who want to trade books. That novel you finished last month? Someone nearby is dying to read it. And they have exactly what you've been looking for.

HOW IT WORKS

1. List books you're ready to pass on
2. Browse what's available near you
3. Request a swap and chat with the owner
4. Meet up and trade - it's that simple

YOUR FIRST SWAP IS FREE

New to ShelfSwap? Your first book swap costs nothing. No credits needed, no catch. We want you to experience the joy of finding your next read from a fellow book lover.

THE CREDIT SYSTEM

After your first swap, use credits to keep trading:

• Earn 1 credit when someone takes your book
• Spend 1 credit to claim a book you want
• Credits never expire

It's a circular economy for readers. The more you share, the more you read.
