Are these books really preloved?
Yes! The books have been curated from the online platform for preloved books - Seekabook. We love how Seekabook allows us to exchange preloved books with other Singapore book lovers, from the comfort of our home!
How do I know the condition of the book?
An actual photo as well book condition will be included in the description of the photo album.
I love your bookswaps! Why no book swap this year?
We have loved running bookswaps in the past years at Earthfest and Swapathon Singapore, but logistics and safety precautions under Covid are too tricky to manage. If you are looking for more to read but lesser to shelve, we urge you to:
Lookup seekabook.com to exchange your reads
Use the library
Run a small book swap with friends, or in your bookclub!
