Product · features
Built for book people. Not blue buttons.
Every feature exists because a BookToker, Bookstagrammer, or author asked for it — not because a generic link tool needed another block type.
Bookshelves (bookshelves.me) is a visual bookshelf link-in-bio. Core features: named shelves with real covers, ratings, Goodreads CSV import, per-book affiliate buy links, book clubs, email capture, analytics, digital shop, QR codes, themes, and custom domains on Author.

Your fans don’t open your bio to admire a spreadsheet.
They open it because they forgot the title. Show the cover. Name the shelf. Put the buy button on the book — not three scrolls down a blue list.
- Covers first — same language as TikTok and Instagram.
- Shelves named like your captions: “books that broke me,” “June haul.”
- One URL forever. Update shelves after every video.

Enough to run a real BookTok bio without paying a cent.

Proof
Analytics + QR
Views and book taps. QR for events, stickers, and signings. Know what people actually open.
“Linktree is fine if your product is ‘me.’ If your product is books, the bio should look like a library.”
