TO REQUEST/RENT/BORROW A BOOK: Please send me/us a private message on this forum (Hacker News), and include whatever information you’re comfortable sharing with me/us, and we’ll send the book to you this week.

We’re not sure if we’re offering return postage yet, but we’ll guarantee any initial postage for outbound shipments and hope that people return the books to us. Since this is new to us, we’re hoping that by offering this to the Y Combinator community, that we could at least have some past member history as an initial data point to start learning from.

We will not share your information with anyone. This is not a joke post. Please, limit one (1) book per member+household, at least initially. These rules could change at any time.

The most basic details that we need to send you a book are:

Book Title: Address Information: (name not required) Expected Return Date:

You may keep the book for up to 90 days, but we please ask that you think of other people and return the book when possible so other people can also borrow it. If everyone chooses 90 days, then we may lower the maximum number of rental days in the future. If the book that you request is currently out of stock, then we’ll add your name to the reservation list, and send the book to you once we receive it in return.

If you would like to review the book after you return it then it would be much appreciated, but completely optional. We plan on adding different metrics of reviewing the best books to read, based on past data, but that’s in the future.

Thank you again.
