Mostly perfect
May 16, 2023

Very fast service, fair prices and books arrived in great shape, as advertised. Perfect transaction.

The only thing that I would prefer is that the Books Run sticker on the back of the book be easier, and less messy to remove, or be replaced with a bookmark. I have to keep in mind that all books from Books Run have a big sticker on the back when browsing Abebooks. This may impact my future purchases. That's the only thing I'd change. Other than that I was very happy with the service.

Sellers' sticker ruined the book
June 14, 2023

The book I received was in excellent condition, but the the seller had applied a large sticker on the back. Once removed, the sticker left an indelible sticky spot that completely ruined the book. Then they sent me multiple emails requesting a review. I cannot recommend this seller.

Quick and accurate service
May 15, 2023

I ordered a book described as in very good condition on April 9, and it was to be delivered on or before April 30. I received it on April 15, only 6 days after ordering it, and it was like a brand new book. I was very pleased and impressed with the service from BooksRun.
