About Us: “All It Takes is One Book”
BookSpine is a social startup committed to changing lives, one book at a time. We’re on a mission to make literature both accessible and sustainable, combating waste while championing literacy in the Philippines. At the heart of our platform is a cutting-edge recommendation engine designed to uplift the local book industry. We aim to serve as a centralized hub that connects authors, publishers, and retailers to readers, offering an extensive range of both print and digital books that resonate deeply with individual preferences.
One of our goals is bridging the supply-demand gap in the book ecosystem, particularly in regions with limited access to physical bookstores. Our ultimate aim is to ensure every book finds its perfect home and every Filipino discovers the transformative power of reading.
In doing so, we ensure every book finds a new home, every Filipino finds the book they need, and together, we foster literacy and environmental sustainability.
Vision
Every person in the world is matched with the books that can impact their lives positively.
We envision a world where owning and reading books is cool, and an integral part of Filipino culture. A world where reading is not just for bookworms, but for everyone—where books are celebrated as tools for inspiration, education, and transformation. Our goal is to revolutionize how people discover and connect with books, making reading accessible to all, and fostering a more conscious and empowered society.
Mission
At BookSpine, we are committed to making literature accessible, sustainable, and part of everyday life for all Filipinos. Through innovative technology and community-driven initiatives, we aim to connect every Filipino with the right book, fostering literacy, personal growth, and a love for reading while breaking the stereotype that books are just for “bookworms” or “geeks.” We believe there’s a book for everyone, and we strive to make reading a norm across all ages and communities in the Philippines..
