The idea is simple. You enter an ISBN and Bookpile shows you nearby independent bookshops, libraries, and book-tracking sites. It deliberately puts small, independent bookstores front and centre. No affiliate links, no cookies, no tracking — just books and the people who love selling or lending them.

We don't know any bookshops in this area yet.

The bookshop data is crowdsourced, so the project relies on people suggesting bookshops and libraries. You can even raise a pull request.
