BUILT FOR THE DETAILS THAT MATTER
More than a list of book titles.
Shelfbound records the difference between owning a book and owning that particular signed, sprayed-edge, special-edition copy.
Record the exact edition
Keep title, author, ISBN, edition, format, series position, reading status and condition together.
Keep photographs with the book
Add up to ten labelled photographs for covers, signatures, sprayed edges, corners and condition details.
Organise your wanted list
Record the edition, minimum condition, signed preference and maximum price you are looking for.
Publish only what you choose
Your library stays private. A book appears publicly only when you make its sale listing Live and visible.
Connect your existing sale listing
Send buyers to your own Vinted, eBay or other marketplace page. Shelfbound does not take commission.
Browse the collector marketplace
Discover live listings from other Shelfbound collectors on one public, searchable page.
THE BENEFIT
Less guessing. Less digging. Easier selling.
Know what you own
See your collection, reading status and special features without checking shelves, receipts and camera rolls.
Keep condition evidence together
Store labelled photographs with the correct book instead of losing them among thousands of phone images.
Reach interested collectors
Give a public audience one clear route to the books members have deliberately listed for sale.

Frequently asked questions
Can other people see my whole collection?
No. Your books, notes, purchase prices and photographs are private by default. Only details connected to a Live listing that you deliberately mark for the public marketplace are shown.
Does Shelfbound process book purchases?
No. A member listing opens the seller’s Vinted, eBay or other supplied marketplace page. That marketplace handles the transaction, postage and its own buyer protection.
Does Shelfbound charge commission on a member sale?
No. Shelfbound is funded by membership subscriptions and does not rewrite sale links or take a percentage of member sales.
How is my membership payment handled?
The existing Veilbound Realms WooCommerce checkout and Stripe payment system handle the subscription. Shelfbound does not collect or store card details.
Can I use Shelfbound on my phone?
Yes. Shelfbound is designed as a responsive web app for phone, tablet and computer browsers. It is not currently a native App Store or Google Play app.
What happens if my subscription ends?
Access follows the status of your WooCommerce subscription. When membership access ends, the private app and your public member sale listings are no longer available.
