How it works
-
1. Snap the shelf
Charity shop, thrift store, used bookstore, library sale, a friend's front room — one photo covers the whole shelf.
-
2. Every spine, identified
Spines picks out each book on the shelf and names it. No typing, no barcode hunting.
-
3. See what's worth pulling out
Award winners — Pulitzer, Booker, Women's Prize and more — get flagged, ratings show at a glance, and anything from your wishlist appears at the top of your scan results.
Made for second-hand shelves
Prize winners, flagged
Major literary awards surface right in your results, so the sticker-less gems don't slip past.
Ratings at a glance
Aggregate reader ratings for every identified book, side by side.
Your wishlist, working
Keep a wishlist in the app — when a shelf you scan holds one, the match appears at the top of your scan results.
Recommendations that fit
Personalised suggestions drawn from what you scan and shelve.
Twenty spines is a squint. One photo is a scan.
If you love used-book hunting, you already know the neck-tilt shuffle. Spines replaces it.
