What it is
-
Merge two books of the same genre and condition into a better copy, from Tattered all the way to Mint.
-
Customers ask for a genre, a condition, sometimes a particular title. Fill their orders to earn Coins and reputation.
-
Name your shelves, complete genre sets and fill in the Catalogue as rarer titles turn up.
-
Upgrade the shop and decorate it with Coins as it grows from a corner stall into a proper bookstore.
-
The Book Fair sells crates of surprise books for Coins or Bookmarks, never money, with the odds shown before you open one.
-
Your shop is saved on your device, and to the cloud when you sign in, so you can pick it up on another phone.
Points
BookmarksCoins are the shop's everyday money and stay inside the game. Bookmarks are the game's Arbito points: you earn them for milestones such as completing a genre shelf or upgrading the shop, and spend them on the Rare Crate and special décor.
Bookmarks are earned only. They cannot be bought, sold, cashed out or sent to anyone, and they have no monetary value. In Arbito Market you can swap points you earned in another Arbito app into Bookmarks. How it works

Questions
Does it cost anything?
No. Chapter & Verse: Merge Books is free: no in-app purchases, no subscriptions and no ads.
Do I need Arbito Market to play?
No. The game works on its own. Arbito Market is only needed if you want to swap points from another Arbito app into Bookmarks.
Is there chat or other players?
No. It is a single-player game. There is no chat, and nobody else sees your shop.
Which platforms?
iPhone and Android.
A small shop, a lot of books.
