How it works
List the books gathering dust on your shelf. Earn coins. Use them to trade for books from other readers. Or arrange a direct swap with someone who has exactly what you want.
Sign up, verify and log in. Complete your profile and start earning coins to unlock your first trade.
Coins are your swap currency. Earn them when you join and use them to initiate swaps with other members.
Every book is inspected by our team before it reaches you. Quality guaranteed, every single swap.
Membership
From casual readers to devoted collectors — there's a plan for every kind of book lover. Every swap costs less than buying a book new.
The average book in Jamaica costs around $2,500 JMD. See how much value your membership unlocks every month compared to buying new.
Coins are your swap currency on The Book Trade. Every swap costs 2 coins — one from each party. Here's how to earn your first coins when you join.
Coins roll over every month as long as your membership stays active.
