Fastest book service ever!
June 16, 2024

My book was delivered very fast and in great condition. It is an old book but looked almost new and it was totally unexpected to receive it so fast. Great service!

Book received damaged
June 15, 2024

Update - the business reached out to me to offer a discount to compensate for the damaged book. I do appreciate that, and i believe this was a shipping issue not a fault of the company - however, had they used a box to ship the book, rather than a bag with no protection like bubble wrap; i believe this would not have happened. I also think this is an issue that someone else might also encounter going forward if books are shipped only in a thin plastic bag for shipping

Purchased an almost $90 out of print book. Was shipped in a thin bag with no bubble wrap or protection. Packaged arrived ripped open and book damaged. Extremely disappointed.

When I first purchased my order from BOOKSRUN I thought my order would take long but it arrived very conveniently and my order wasn't damaged a little scratch but all in all glad to have ordered from BOOKSRUN.

Best ABEBooks service yet!
June 15, 2024

Needed a book asap for our next bookclub selection and Book Run was the fastest delivery of a used book thru ABEBooks yet. I'll look for Book Run again for future orders.

Great prices for books

Blue Mind
June 15, 2024

Blue Mind is a must read! It is an interesting compilation of research over the past decade and more. The content is a reminder that water is the powerful ground of our being, of all life for that matter. It heals, relaxes, and must be safeguarded.
