Both 'The Symbolism of Evil' (Boston: Beacon Press, 1967) and 'Hermeneutics and the Human Sciences' (New York: Cambridge Univ. Pr.; 1981) by Paul Ricoeur arrived in fairly good condition. I ordered these two titles to align with my copy of Ricoeur's 'Fallible Man' (Chicago: Gateway Editions, 1965). All of these paperback books are 'perfect' bound, but the Cambridge, 1981 'Hermeneutics' broke into two sections when opened. I've glued it back together but it must be handled carefully. This is not the bookseller's problem, but I mention it because so many publishers since the 1960s, it seems to me, shifted from 'signatures' to 'perfect' glued bindings of their 'mass market' products. Just one more issue to consider when purchasing a paperback.
The price was great as was the delivery. I would purchase from this seller again.
Thanks for the feedback! Hope to see you again doing business with us! - BooksRun Team
Very simply, the book was doused in some kind of perfumed scent. I opened the book and started sneezing. I took the book to the GoodWill the next day. I will not be using this seller again.

It took some time, but I did get paid for the books I sent in. Highest price anywhere for the used textbooks that were lying around. Thanks, BooksRun

The textbook I ordered was a loose-leaf copy. However, some of the pages cannot be used in the binder because the holes are ripped, and other pages are folded. But the other Textbook ordered was in good condition.

Ordered this, which was on my son's Christmas list, and he was really looking forward to it, so the timely shipping was so welcome! Thoroughly and adroitly packaged... arrived looking better than when it was sent, haha!
Among the most valuable businesses in the country --- especially NOW with book banning and diminishing value on books period - is the recirculation of BOOKS in and out of people's lives. Books we keep for some period and then wish to recycle into the society of readers. BooksRun is a super company filling a treasured need
The book I received was clean and in good quality. I will use them again for my next course.
The book came much sooner than expected and was in excellent condition. Billing was fine, no problems.
I had a great time ordering my book and I got it early! Booksrun is doing a great job!
Purchased (my order recollection was for a hard bound copy) "Charade" as a gift for my husband. What arrived was a paperback-for ~$50.00?! In its defense, he's read and enjoyed it. But $50.00? PLEASE!

Great service from a awesome company. Fast shipment!
My order was received earlier than was indicated at ordering, and the book was in very good condition!
I had a positive experience with Booksrun. They were easy to work with and responsive to my inquiries.

Ordered a book for a college class. With the holidays I forgot to order far enough ahead of time. My book was shipped immediately and I received it in time for class. Books Run did a fantastic job getting my book on time and correctly without paying extra shipping.
My book was noted as very good condition. However the cover was torn, it was a bit dirty and the binding was cracked. I've requested a refund which would include free return shipping but haven't gotten a reply. It's not worth returning but I want my money back. Will not buy from them again.

Initially the process of getting my quote for my books was very easy. Then it all fell apart as soon as the processed my books. My account shows paid on December 6! It is now Jan 20th. I have emailed and chatted regarding my refund. My ticket was closed stating resolved when in fact I still do not have my funds. I have emailed them and still have yet to get a response. I am very disappointed and wondering if I got scammed!
