About us

Come hang with us at our non-fiction book swaps in Austin, TX or your home city. Always free to attend.

How it Works

Bring a non-fiction book(s) you’d actually recommend 📚

Memoirs, essays, business, psychology, science, culture, history are—all welcome. The only rule is that it’s a book you’d genuinely recommend it to a friend and are willing to let go of as part of our free community swap.

Write a recommendation card 📝

For every book you bring, you’ll be asked to write a short recommendation on a card. The format is inspired by handwritten staff picks at local independent bookstores here in Austin, but with one twist that’s specific to the Hi From Business Camp 🏕️ brand.

Each recommendation card at our swaps will have a prompt created by our team. Rather than a simple “why did you recommend this,” our goal with the prompts is to encourage fun dialogue and turn the books into a shared archive of taste, curiosity, and lived experience.

Browse, read the cards, & take a book with you 📕

Browse, read the cards, and take a book with you and hopefully chat with some other folks at the swap and make some new connections and friends.
