The Book Collector

The Book Collector is the leading English-language journal for encouraging, supporting and informing all kinds of book collecting. The bringing together of books, by institutions and individuals, has supported the spread and preservation of ideas for as long as books have existed, and our libraries are bedrocks of civilisation. Book collecting as a private pursuit has flourished for centuries, and today underpins an international commercial network of dealers, auctioneers and buyers worth millions of pounds every year.

Bookswarm created a new WooCommerce-based site which includes the ability to order digital only or physical + digital subscriptions. Digital subscriptions are delivered via Exact Editions, and the site has a bespoke integration with their White Labelling service.

“Working with Simon, Alex and Susie on our new website for The Book Collector has been a thoroughly positive experience. They approached a complex migration with skill and flexibility, helping us translate a long list of bespoke requirements into a clean, intuitive WordPress site that is far easier to manage and develop.

Their creativity, responsiveness and clear understanding of the book world made them an ideal partner, and their willingness to adapt as the project evolved was invaluable. We would happily recommend Bookswarm and look forward to continuing our work with them.”
