It starts when someone has an idea to create a rival price guide so they hire a service to steal our data. Because who would want to enter 1.1 million books into a database manually like we've done? It's too much work.


You might wonder why you should care. Well, the scrappers slow down the site because they are hitting the database relentlessly. So your experience is worse because of a thief. We take this very seriously and shut them down as we find them. If you're thinking about it, please don't, it's stealing.


This is what we do behind the scenes to make sure that our members have a great experience.
