Terms of use

A few notes about using The Same Shelf.

The Same Shelf is operated by Coral and Corn LLC. By using this site, you agree to use it lawfully and in a way that does not interfere with the site or other visitors.

Recommendations and book information

Recommendations, Shelf Scores, descriptions, availability, and edition information are provided for discovery and general informational purposes. Book metadata can be incomplete or change over time, and a recommendation is not a guarantee that every reader will enjoy or find a book appropriate.

Adult readership

The Same Shelf focuses on books published for adult readers rather than children’s or young-adult books. In this context, “adult” describes the intended readership and does not mean every recommended book contains explicit material. Some books may include mature themes such as violence, sexuality, substance use, or other sensitive subjects. The site does not provide comprehensive content warnings, so please consult publisher information or other sources when particular content matters to you.

Retailer and affiliate links

Retailer links lead to third-party websites governed by their own terms and privacy practices. Some links are affiliate links, which means The Same Shelf may earn a commission without increasing your price. See the affiliate disclosure for details.

Site content and availability

You may use the site for personal, noncommercial book discovery. Do not attempt to disrupt the service, bypass access controls, or reproduce substantial portions of the site or its recommendation data without permission. We may correct, change, suspend, or remove site features and content at any time.
