About us
Transparent pricing, personal service, since 2013.
The story
Thirteen years ago, DigitiseMyBooks was built on a simple idea: pricing should be on the website, not behind a sales call. No quotes, no haggling — just a clear, honest rate for scanning and digitising your books.
Since then we’ve worked with teachers, authors, politicians, travellers, businesses large and small, and everyone in between. The one thing they share: books taking up space, and a need for readable, portable digital files they can use on any device.
DigitiseMyBooks is run by Philip Marsden, who started the service in 2013. As a teacher, he was already digitising his own library — reducing what he had to carry, keeping his books organised, and keeping everything to hand. That same practical thinking shaped how the business was built, and it hasn’t changed since.
What customers say
★★★★★
“I am training to be a teacher and found it reassuring that the founder is a teacher himself. The customer service team were extremely helpful and I am sure I will be using DigitiseMyBooks for years to come.”

★★★★★
“You could easily double your prices and still be totally competitive — I'd have paid twice as much without thinking. The turnaround was unexpectedly fast and the OCR accuracy is excellent.”

“I am visually impaired and in constant need of scanning and OCR services. DigitiseMyBooks did the job to a very high standard, professionally and in a timely fashion. This is an online shop with your local shop feel.”

“Philip and his team did a superb job digitising an old typed manuscript written by my grandfather in the 70s. I am extremely happy with the results and the level of service — they really went the extra mile.”
