I ordered books through ABE books who passed the order on to Books Run. The books were in very good condition and at a great price. Rarer books too, those no longer available in stores. They are good resources who should be considered.
The book never arrived. My company purchased this book for Ms. Williams. I wrote to the company about it and never received a response yet they still charged the business card. I hope someone responds. We will handle this matter differently for results.

I just took my chances based on the book's description that it would be the book to end my search for the Polish book I was quite certain didn't yet exist. And it came and lived up to my expectations. Plus, it came quickly and it is virtually new, if not new. I didn't give the experience five stars, however, because it smelled of that ubiquitous perfume that so much merchandise smells of. I had to leave it in the mudroom open by the window for weeks before the smell dissipated enough that I could read it without having an allergic reaction to the book.

We are so glad to hear that! Already looking forward to doing business with you again! - BooksRun Team
They paid out less money that they had quoted and did not tell me that they were going to pay less. I had chosed Used - Good for the condition of my book and later I learned they changed it to Used - Acceptable hence why they pay less. And I'm ok with them changing the condition. What I don't appreciate is that there was no communication whatsoever and didn't even ask if I was ok with the new quote.
