@wisj26 Ha I literally just started http://getbookful.com because I couldn't find a good Book Subscription Service

@itsthisjustin@wisj26 keep going with it! There can never be too many, and it's not like mine is the first to exist. It's a great business model in my opinion, you don't need any up front cash you just pay as you grow

Hi Jacob! Congratulations on your Product Hunt! I have a couple questions 1). Are you working with a specific used book wholesaler? If not, I may have a suggestion. I spent 10 years with Barnes & Noble College Division. 2). What made you decide to expand beyond young adult? Just curious. Good luck, I like the idea.

@vbarnett323 Thanks Virginia! Right now at the smaller scale we're not working with any specific store, but now as we grow I am working to build relationships with book stores, authors, and publishers. I'd love to hear more about your ideas if you want to email me at jacob@mybookcase.co
As far as expanding beyond young adult, I just felt that those book boxes were missing out on a large market and didn't see any reason to limit us.

I also wanted to offer 25% off your first month with us using the coupon code HUNTED

As a completely book addict, this is pretty awesome! Congrats!
How do you avoid sending people books they already own?

@shimmb this is a big risk were facing. At the moment there really isn't any way, but we are looking into possibly integrating with Goodreads. It wouldn't be perfect though
