My Rescue
April 3, 2025

Lost/loaned/gave away my copy and had a craving to read it again. These guys had it at my door in just a few days. Great condition (some of these older paperbacks become unglued and brittle with time). I am sated for now, but the tyranny of dependence and need will bring me back here. My new dealer.

I have had only one book out all others that the pages were falling out right and left. I was in fair condition so I'm satisfied overall but maybe on the books in fair condition should be discounted more.
Otherwise it's a genius thing you have going on and I will definitely be purchasing more books!

Sincerely

Barbara

Book Return
April 3, 2025

Book Run was very easy to navigate and look up the books I wanted to sell. I wasn't going to use these books anymore and to be able to receive payment for them was a huge bonus.

Stickers on Book Spine
April 3, 2025

PLEASE do not put your inventory tracking stickers on the book spine as can make the book title printed on the spine non-readible.
