Satisfaction
April 20, 2024

Book purchased was like new and may have been brand new but what caught my attention was the fact that it was over half the price of everywhere else. Would do business with this entity again.

I ordered my nec code book thru booksrun.com after reading about them online...they make sure the book you're ordering is original and not a fake book. I received my book in 5 days just like they said in great condition. Thank you so much!

Very Disappointing at Best!
April 19, 2024

Book specifically said FIRST EDITION but it was in fact the 21st printing. I thought twice about buying it but the listing said FIRST EDITION. I wouldn't have wasted my time or money on buying the book if it was advertised correctly. I'm sure that I'll get some good excuse as why they said it was a first edition when it was not and it is their discretion to ship…blah, blah, blah…Big Box Bookstores don't offer what a Brick & Mortar can.
