Review
February 2, 2024

The order arrived to BooksRun in the expected timing and payment was disbursed in a timely fashion. However, I never received the funds to my account. But, I was assisted in a professional manner and reissued my funds! Thanks again! And will definitely use BooksRun again in the future!:-)

I ordered a used textbook. It is in great condition! There are no markings, rips, or bent pages. I will use this site for next semester as well.

STICKER
February 23, 2024

Book was great until plastered the book with your damned sticker that I can not remove. Your advertising method sucks!

Described the book condition well, the price was reasonable compared to others. I like no shipping charges. Received in a pretty quick timeframe that provided time for reading before the next book club.

Feedback
January 26, 2024

Book (new) arrived in good time. A layer of bubble wrap around book (in addition to padded envelope) would have prevented minor damage to front cover.
