LEATHERBOUND
Photo to catalogue.Automated.
The cataloguing and valuation tool for book collections.
How It Works
Four steps. Your entire library catalogued.
Scan Your Shelf
Point your phone at a bookshelf. Up to 20 spines at once — no barcodes needed.
AI Builds Your Catalog
Each book is identified by title, author, publisher, edition, and printing.
Five-Tier Market Pricing
Estimated values across five tiers with links to the sources behind every estimate.
Review, Grade, and Export
Set condition grades. Add photos and notes. Export insurance PDFs or CSV anytime — always free.
Features
Built for collectors who care about the details
Shelf Scanning
Photograph a shelf, not one book at a time. AI reads spines directly — even faded, sideways, or tightly packed.
Five-Tier Market Pricing
Every estimate links to its source — AbeBooks, eBay sold listings, dealer catalogs — so you can verify.
Import Your Existing Collection
Upload your Excel or CSV. Leatherbound maps your columns, enriches the data, and values every book.
Edition & Printing Identification
First edition doesn't mean first printing. Leatherbound distinguishes between true firsts, first-thus, book club editions, and later printings.
Points of Issue
The misprints and binding variants that identify a specific printing. Confirm which your copy has.
Photo Documentation
Photograph covers, title pages, copyright pages, dust jackets, signatures, and condition details. Ten categories.
CSV Export
Export your full collection to CSV — every field, every value, every note. Your data is always yours.
Insurance-Ready Export
Generate a formatted PDF inventory with cover photos, condition grades, and estimated replacement values.
Whether you've collected for decades
or just opened a box of old books
For the collector
You already know the difference between a first edition and a first printing. Leatherbound gives you the tool your collection deserves — five-tier pricing, edition identification, points of issue tracking, and a catalog that reflects the care you've put into building your library.
For the newcomer
You inherited a library. Or you've been buying books for years without tracking them. Leatherbound tells you what you have, what edition it is, and what it might be worth — no expertise required. The tool does the work; you make the decisions.
