3. Who are we?
Book Forward is a dedicated team that works with
libraries or friends of libraries.
We help libraries sell their donated items online.
By selling online, it helps libraries raise a lot more
funding than traditional library book sales.
We handle the whole process of selling online, so
there is minimal work on your side.
We provide a very user-friendly tool to help libraries
find valuable items.

5. What is the process?
You find valuable items easily with our portable scanner. *
You ship the scanned items to us with free shipping & free
USPS pickup. *
We manage the whole selling process.
You can track the sales status of each item through our
web site.
You receive payment from us for the successful sales.
(* For libraries in certain locations, we will come to scan and
pickup the items on-site)

7. Zero up-front cost
There is zero up-front cost and no expense from you.
We pay for the shipping of items.
We give you the portable scanner at no charge.
Only when an item is sold successfully, then we charge a
small commission and fee.

8. Simple Pricing Structure
15% commission from the final selling price of the item.
$0.75 fixed fee per item that is sold.
For on-site scanning and pickup, there will be an
additional $0.55 per item that is sold.

are sold.

18. “I wanted to tell you how impressed the Friends of the
Rancho Bernardo Library are with you organization
Almost all of the books have been in non-fiction
categories that in the past we either did not accept as
donations or did not sell at any of our sales.
I anticipate a continuing relationship with Book
Forward.”
Dick Luehring, President
Friends of the Rancho Bernardo Branch Library
