Bookshop.org launches buy-back scheme for secondhand books
Aug 28 2024
A buy-back scheme for used books has been launched by Bookshop.org, the online retailer launched in 2020 with the view of being an ethical alternative to Amazon.
The scheme, Bookloop by Bookshop.org, allows customers to trade books they own for credit to use on the website. Readers can register books through the online valuation system and then either leave them at a DPD drop-off point or have them picked up from home.
