About BookWish
Our Mission
BookWish is Earth's community book network—connecting readers and independent bookstores through ethical commerce and genuine community.
We believe books are better when they're social, and shopping is better when it's ethical. So we built the infrastructure that makes both possible.
A Network, Not Just an App
We're not trying to be another Amazon. We're building something different: a place where readers discover books through community, indie bookstores get the technology to compete, and commerce flows ethically through the whole ecosystem.
Think Goodreads meets ethical e-commerce, powered by independent bookstores.

Our Values
Built for Book People by Book People
BookWish was built by people who live and breathe books—readers, booksellers, and everyone in between. We join readers and indie bookstores everywhere through technology that actually works for both.
No corporate overlords. No venture capital telling us to "scale fast and break things." Just book people building the network we wish existed.
