Safety

Swapping books means meeting a stranger once. Here is how to make that boring.

Meet in public

A library or a café works. You never have to give anyone your address, and you should not.

Your exact location is never shown

A listing shows a distance and a town. Coordinates live in a separate table that no other member can read, and the distance you see is rounded before it reaches you.

Your reading list is private

Nobody sees what you are looking for. When a match happens the other person learns that one book matched. They never see the rest of the list.

Report anything wrong

Every listing has a report link. A person reads it. A flagged listing is hidden from everyone except its owner until somebody has looked at it.

Nothing is for sale

Anyone who asks you for money, a deposit or card details is misusing the site. Report them and we will close the account.
