How cooperation works
01Submit your details
Tell us about your collecting interests, the editions you hold and which books you would like to share.
02Review the next steps
The team can review your expression of interest and discuss local launch preparation. This is not an automatic account activation.
03Prepare your catalogue
Start with your collection size. Scanning, CSV and API catalogue tools are part of the product direction, not live upload tools on this site.
04Join your city’s launch
Availability, commercial terms and any required verification are confirmed separately before using the marketplace.
What to prepare
- Organisation or project name
- Contact person and email
- City and country
- A website or social profile, if available
- A short description of your work
- Questions you would like to discuss
What Burtz needs from you
Everything is asked right in the form. Nothing to prepare in advance.
Nothing needs to be uploaded in advance. Estimates are welcome, and registering interest does not create a payment, listing or marketplace account.
