Happy Customer
October 21, 2024

Ordered a book via Abebooks. My order was fulfilled by BooksRun. The book arrived quickly, and, although it is a used book, it was in like new condition. Buying used is the most cost effective way to purchase books.

Very, very well-written
October 21, 2024

History can only be written by the survivors. Therefore, historical events perspectives vary, and those that did not survive have no contribution to the work. Well-written and constructed.

Save your books
October 18, 2024

I sent NEW read once books to them, they gave the bare minimum in return, which you know they turned around and asked full price for, and then said one book wasn't up to their standards. You're better off giving books to friends than the pennies they offer. Terrible.
