Quick delivery

I was surprised at the quick delivery, the book was enclosed in plastic to avoid issues with bad weather. Very satisfied.

They sell what they advertise
May 4, 2025

Books have always been in great condition and are promptly shipped, which is most of what they can control. Transit time is acceptable and not up to them.

Great experience

I was very pleased with my purchase experience with Booksrun, through Abe Books. Booksrun communicated with me through the purchase process and my book came very quickly. I look forward to dealing with them for my next gently used book purchase!

Excellent Condition
May 4, 2025

I was very pleased with my recent online book purchase. The ordering process was simple and efficient, and the book arrived much faster than I expected. It was affordably priced, which made the deal even better. When I opened the package, I was impressed by the excellent condition of the book—it looked almost brand new, with no signs of wear or damage. It's always a bit of a gamble ordering books online, but this experience exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely consider buying from this seller again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great value and reliable service.

Faultless service
May 4, 2025

Delivered on time, and as described. I would certainly use them again. Why do I have to write a hundred characters? That's stupid.

Great source
May 4, 2025

At first some classmates were saying how bad this site was, where they ordered and never got anything. Do I was skeptical about trying it. But from the 3 times that I have used this source for books I have had nmnothing but great experience. I will use use it over and over again.

I ordered an expensive special edition of a book, and they did not mention that it was a library copy (and marked with stickers as such). I would not have paid as much as I did knowing it wasn't a "clean" copy. Similar library copies were priced half as much with other sellers. Check elsewhere to make sure you don't get surprised. Update: I was contacted by the team at Booksrun, and they offered to refund me 20% of my purchase price, which they followed through and did immediately. So, the overall cost of the item I bought was close (but still higher) to other similarly marked up copies online. They also pointed out that the condition of the book I received technically matched up with the description category they listed under. So, overall a reasonable resolution, but I guess buyer beware.
