Whether you are new to BookScouter or are a seasoned user, you always have new opportunities to get the most out of BookScouter.
Our team has strategically designed different features and expanded the platform’s functionality to make your experience seamless and your sales profitable.
Basic Features
ISBN Lookup
Check every book’s ISBN on BookScouter before you buy, rent, or sell. The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a numeric way to identify books. Each number is unique and contains either 10 or 13 characters. You can often find the ISBN in several places in the book. First, you can see it on the copyright page near the front of the book. Most likely, you’ll also find it near the barcode. To gain further knowledge about ISBN, we recommend reading our previous article.
BookScouter Mobile Apps
While you may be used to our BookScouter web version, we strongly encourage you to employ our free book pricing apps for iOS and Android. You can look up ISBNs using the app as a scanner when you don’t have access to your PC. It’s equally easy, and you’ll get the same results, as the apps synchronize with the web version.
Real Reviews about Vendors
We only work with trusted vendors. On our Vendors page, you can read real user reviews about any vendor you are interested in. We strive to provide impeccable service; therefore, we always provide real information you can check and understand how vendors operate. You can compare other users’ experiences, and you are also welcome to leave your feedback. In case of any issues, you can also reach us at support@bookscouter.com.
Website Redesign
We’ve recently updated our website to improve user experience and make BookScouter faster and more efficient.
BookScouter Blog
We collect all sorts of book-related information for you. In our blog, you can find years of tips, tricks, and updates. Whatever is happening in the bookselling world, we cover it for you. We also have tons of useful information for students.

Price Alerts
To achieve even more efficiency, we also added price alerts for sell and buy features.

You can set up alerts on up to 20 books in your Sell Watchlist and up to 20 books in your Buy Watchlist.
Multiple ISBN Lookup
You can use the multi-lookup feature if you need to find many books and don’t want to enter each ISBN manually. Multi Lookup is excessively effective and saves time. You can find it both on the homepage and on the Sell page.

If you’re a professional book reseller and are flipping books for profit, you can benefit from the following features. To get information about Sales Rank, see the lowest price on Amazon and current sellers quantity, you need to log in to your account.
