There are a bajillion books out there (okay, it’s really about 130 million in modern history!), and figuring out what to read next can be a daunting and expensive task! We believe books should be circulated and that an author's work should endure. Our Annual Book Subscription is the most inexpensive and environmentally sustainable way to read.  Discover new authors and genres of books as you exchange a book as often as you wish.  We keep books in circulation by finding new readers for used books. We strive to select the best quality used books for our readers. We strive to promote an affordable reading culture in Kenya through our annual book subscription program.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Buy your first pre-owned book from us.

2. Pay your annual subscription fee of Ksh. 5000 to exchange used books and ksh. 10,000 for new books

3. Enjoy the read.

We hope you love your selection and look forward to your next exchange. 

4. Return the book and pick your next read.
