Books & Media

Free software to run your bookshop

Track every title by ISBN, condition and format, manage new and used stock, scan barcodes, and keep real books - free, on your own computer, with no per-user fee.

No per-user fees. Your data stays on your machine.

The problems every bookseller knows

Thousands of titles, new and used, across the shop and online - and most software either can't keep up or charges per till.
