My name is Matthew Page. I have been collecting unwanted academic books since 2009, making it my mission to keep them out of landfill and into the hands of people that actively want to read them.
What started out as a part time hobby turned into a full time passion. I established Simply Textbook in 2017, and never tire of doing what I love.
Simply Textbook is a one-man and one-van operation, so all communications, collections, redistribution, charitable donation, sales, web design, social media, (etc x1000!) is carried out by me. It keeps me very busy!
Simply Textbook specialises in academic books, and also collects ANY published books with ISBN across the entire spectrum of subjects and genres, working tirelessly to find them a new home
Standard collection days are Mondays and Wednesdays
No picking and choosing takes place – every ISBN book meeting the collection criteria will be collected
Simply Textbook is not a charity, but makes regularly donations to charity
Zero-landfill policy strictly enforced at all times
Please note – Simply Textbook does NOT collect from schools and colleges
