How to add a Books link

Share your book with your audience

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Authors, writers, and publishers can showcase their books on their Linktree with the Books Link feature. This allows visitors to easily find and purchase the paperback, hardcover, ebook, and audiobook versions of your book from multiple retailers.

If you're on a Starter, Pro or Premium plan and part of an affiliate program with Amazon, Apple Books, Better World Books, Books-A-Million, or Barnes & Noble, you can also add your affiliate token to earn commission from book sales.

πŸ’‘ Tip: Check out the supported platforms for Books Link.

How does it work?


When you search using a URL or ISBN (ISBN-10 or ISBN-13) of your book, our system will scan supported platforms and generate a list of available retailers. This list will display directly on your Linktree, making it easy for visitors to find and buy your book.

Your Books link will automatically include:

  • Your name

  • The book cover

  • The book description
