 About Us

Bookcraves is Singapore's first online real-time book rental services company. Bookcraves was ushered into our lives at the beginning of the year 2003. Started by a group of friends for catering only to a small group of book lovers, the service naturally progressed to become a premier online book rental service to serve not only avid book readers, but also occasional readers and individuals who have just started to pick up reading as an interest. 

Before long, Bookcraves was growing in proportion with her customers craving for affordable books. Bookcraves’ popularity did not go unnoticed as she caught the attention of the Streats newspaper’s editors which featured Bookcraves in one of it’s articles in May 2003. Although a few Bookcraves-like websites sprang up over the Internet soon after, it later became apparent to Bookcraves-boot legs that they lack the key elements to make their operations viable. To date, Bookcraves has remained the only fully operational online book rental service in Singapore. The success of Bookcraves is attributed to her multi-disciplinary team that is able to engineer an effective back-end process (What the customer don’t see), a no frills front-end presence (What the customer sees over the Internet) and a customer service mechanism (What the customer sees, hears and interacts with in-person). 

Bookcraves’ commitment to her customers gives an edge over past, present and potential competitors. In giving back to the community that has so well received Bookcraves, Bookcraves serves to nurture the reading habits of individuals in Singapore for improving literacy and knowledge gain. In meeting the needs of the community, Bookcraves takes upon itself to provide an online book rental service that is convenient (delivery and collection of books provided for and it’s free), competitively priced (cheapest rental rates in town), affordable (no deposits required), uni-policy (one rental price for any title across categories), and hassle free (no credit cards required). 

Bookcraves is rapidly expanding and constantly improving itself to become an established and well-known icon for online book rental service, locally and in the region.

Hi,

I read about your online rental service in Streats. I think you came up with a great service...very often I find it a hassle to go to the book rental shop. An ideal service for a couch potato like me...

Thanks
