The best used book store
February 12, 2023

I bought an used book in "good condition", but for my luck it looks new. This is the second time I bought and both experiences were terrific. They delivery one time, in condition above they promise.

February 10, 2023

I'm happy with how well packed the books are. Even with used books, they are very well protected in the shipping bag. Price is right and shipping is fast.
Will buy again!

Didn't get my book
March 12, 2023

I ordered a digital book and the code did not even work, customer service took over a week to get back to me only to not respond again and never looked further into the issue. I had to get the book again somewhere else because I had a deadline for school and they were so sloppy at helping. Will not be ordering from here again.

I sold two books to BooksRun and was given an initial estimate of about $38. When they received the books, they reduced their offer to $14 because the books had some minor cosmetic damage on the covers. I was pretty conservative when estimating the condition of the books and I selected the worst option, so I was surprised when the books were evaluated to be less than half the original estimate. I would have asked for the books to be returned, but BooksRun would have charged me for shipping and the shipping fee was pretty expensive.
