BOOKSWAP : BRIDGING COLLECTORS THROUGH AN INNOVATIVE RARE BOOK SWAP SYSTEM

Abstract

Rare books collectors suffer from the scarcity of a platform that is designed specifically for them, and meets their particular needs. The absence of such a digital ecosystem makes it almost impossible to exchange unique books. Inequity and disunity in the trading process appear due to the absence of the standardized procedures (those for appraising the quality and price), which leads to the dissatisfaction of customers. However, additional hurdles, such as authenticating books that collectors want to exchange and the condition of the books being offered, create a significant obstacle for collectors. This centralized initiative is complicated too by its sufficient communication and verification procedures. As a resolution of these challenges is proposed an Innovative Rare Book Swap System, consisting of the assessment of standard evaluation algorithms, of the authentication mechanisms secure and centralized platform used to facilitate the exchange transparent and efficient. The target result includes creating user-friendly design, establishing non-biased valuation, introducing verification mechanism, development of communication and collusion center, and establishment of engagement network. The system will attempt to overhaul the old book exchange method by creating a platform where book and literature lovers can engage and interact as they honor rare literary treasures within the circle.
