THE PROTOTYPE / THREE SCREENS, ONE LOOP

From your shelf.
To their next term.

A book you no longer need could be exactly the one someone else is looking for. Here’s how the swap works.

LOOK FOR THE RIGHT EDITION

Find the book.
Check the details.

Browse a course or search a title. Each listing puts the edition and condition beside the cover, so a similar-looking book doesn’t catch you out.

A TWO-WAY CONNECTION

You need theirs.
They need yours.

Add the book you can offer. A match appears when another student wants yours and has one on your list. We explain both sides before you agree.

CLOSE THE LOOP

Pick a spot.
Pass it on.

The prototype suggests a public campus handover point. Check the physical book before you trade. Private addresses never belong in a public listing.

THE HONEST SMALL PRINT

A working idea.
With visible edges.

The weekend build uses sample listings. It has no real accounts, moderation team or active campus network. Our test results describe guided prototype sessions, not real-world trading.
