List for free. Chat with buyers and sellers nearby. No platform fees — you keep what you agree.
Nearby Book connects people who have used books with people who need them — textbooks, exam guides, and second-hand reads in your area.
See listings around you, then meet locally or arrange a simple hand-off.
Ask about edition, condition, and meeting place in chat before you pay anyone.
No listing fee and no commission. You and the buyer agree the price yourselves.
Inspect the book before you pay. Meet in a public place when you can.
A second door, not a listing. People and children’s homes ask Nearby Book for titles they cannot buy. You give a copy or support to us. We arrange the book. Donors and recipients never deal with each other, and nobody posts “I have money.”
Post a free listing with a photo and price. Nearby readers can chat with you and pick them up.
