Built and managed by a team who understands the used, rare and out-of-print book industry from the ground up. The Guardian Book System was developed by people who:

  • bookstore owners themselves.

What should you do next?

  • Take a few minutes and take a tour. We've created something called Pheonix Book Shop for you to take for a test drive. The Phoenix Book Shop is a full functioning bookstore built within the Guardian framework. You can perform any function you would with your own bookstore (e.g. add books, wants, clients, sales etc...) to really see how you business will work within the Guardian model.
