 Book-Cycle is a 'not-for-profit social organisation' based in Exeter, England. We collect unwanted books and trees from Devon and Somerset and house them in Britain’s only “free bookshop.” Here you are invited to choose up to three books per person per day and pay whatever you wish! After minimal running costs, half the proceeds send relevant literature to developing countries, while the other half goes to planting trees around Britain.
We have a vast collection of books in many different genres. If you do not find what you are looking for in the shop, there is a high probability that it will be lurking somewhere in one of our secret book-mountains dotted around the county! Book-Cycle also offers a range of other free services including internet space, a “Bring Your Own Art” exhibition and independent film screenings. Book-Cycle is run entirely by volunteers and seeks to promote a fairer, more enlightened vision of the future. The shop is part of an early Tudor building, located next to Stepcote Hill and St Mary’s Church. This is one of the oldest parts of Exeter and site of the Westgate, Stepcote Hill is the oldest road in Exeter. We love our shop, we think it’s beautiful!
