It was awesome.
October 15, 2023

It was awesome. Couldn't be happier. Over the moon, also realizing that I don't remember which book it was that I ordered from you.

Great Recycle Book Store
October 14, 2023

Arrived when BooksRun said it would. Got notifications as to where the books were in route. (Not like some of the competitors that do not let you know anything from the time the order is placed until it arrives.) Books were in as good or better condition than stated. Keep up the good work. Sl23

The book came in a timely fashion, but I emailed many times to try to find out why a return label wasn't included, and finally was told that it would be mailed later. If this had been made clear at the onset, it would have made things easier.
