Simply Textbook The Academic Book Collector collects your unwanted academic books and finds them a new home – NEVER in landfill
If you find yourself wondering – ‘what on earth can I actually do with all the academic books I no longer read, need or have space for?‘ Please read on.
Your books have served you well. No doubt they can tell a story in more ways than one. You’ve reached a point where practicalities mean you can no longer keep them, but it feels SO wrong to just throw them away.
What’s needed is a straightforward, reliable way of passing your books on. One where you know they’ll be treated responsibly and given maximum opportunity for a worthwhile next chapter.
Simply Textbook is here to help.
My name is Matthew Page, I have collected unwanted academic books from staff at universities since 2009, and established Simply Textbook in 2017. What started as an occasional hobby, has become my full time passion.
I completely understand that deciding what to do with your books is rarely a straightforward choice. You may have finished with them for a multitude of reasons, but that doesn’t mean you want to see them go to waste. And I know that parting company with your cherished books is never an easy process.
Simply Textbook is no ordinary “waste clearance” service. Every collection is treated with total care and consideration. Each and every book is given the very best possible opportunity for further use through resale, charitable donation or responsible recycling.
NEVER in landfill.
University staff?
Simply Textbook collects from staff at universities in England and Wales.
Collections are offered free of charge for university staff on campus, while home collections can be arranged for just £35 per visit.

Not university staff? No problem!
By popular demand, Simply Textbook also collects unwanted academic books from any home or work address in England and Wales for just £45, even if you are not university staff.
In addition to your unwanted academic books, you can also add any other books with ISBN to the collection. Any subject, genre (both fiction and non-fiction), language. (Age and condition restrictions may apply).
To keep things as uncomplicated as possible, it’s the same price regardless of quantity and location.
No time consuming hassles trying to sell your books yourself, no fruitlessly scanning barcodes just to be offered 10p or nothing at all, no being turned away by charity shops, no reluctantly taking your books to the local rubbish tip.
