Opening soon · The Netherlands

Your next read is already on someone's shelf.

Swapbooks is a peer-to-peer marketplace for used books — starting with the Turkish-speaking community in the Netherlands. List what you've read, find what you haven't, and swap directly with real readers near you.

No spam. One email, the day we open.

You're on the list — we'll email you the moment Swapbooks opens.
Language

Your language, your shelf

Every listing is tagged and searchable by language, so Turkish-speaking readers finally have a home base — not a folder buried inside Marktplaats.

Community

Built on a real community

We started with 600+ readers already trading books by hand in a WhatsApp group. Swapbooks just gives that community a proper shelf.

Metadata

Books, not just listings

Every book carries real metadata — title, author, ISBN, edition — so you know exactly what you're getting before you swap.

How it works

Four steps from shelf to shelf

01

List

Snap a photo and add the ISBN — we fill in the title, author, and edition for you.

02

Browse

Search by language, genre, or what's available near you.

03

Propose a swap

Offer one of your own books, or ask to buy outright.

04

Meet & trade

Arrange a handoff nearby, then mark it swapped.

Already in motion

600+ readers are already trading Turkish books by hand across the Netherlands. We're building them a proper home.
