Folded pages heavy wear
February 1, 2025

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.

We love reccycling books!
January 31, 2025

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

My Rescue
April 3, 2025

Lost/loaned/gave away my copy and had a craving to read it again. These guys had it at my door in just a few days. Great condition (some of these older paperbacks become unglued and brittle with time). I am sated for now, but the tyranny of dependence and need will bring me back here. My new dealer.

It's good to find this unusual book
March 25, 2025

I can't say anything about the book. It's a birthday present for my son who's interested in the topic. I do hate, though, all the rigmarole I have to go through to submit this review. I'd give them five stars if they'd delete this torture.

Hassle-free textbooks
February 28, 2025

BooksRun made acquiring the textbook for my son's dual credit course pain-free. The book was better than described, competitively priced, and arrived quickly. They go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction, and, bonus, they facilitate the buyback process - making the entire experience hassle-free.

The book was packaged in a simple envelop, which for a travel from US to Europe is very light: the book was clearly damaged during transportation. I would have expected at least bubble wrap. Then to get the book I had to pay additional 10€ for customs duties, which was not planned; the cost of the book was 40€, so it represents 25% more. Knowing that I had paied for transportation and VAT... then I do not understand this extra cost.

Saxon Math Book
March 18, 2025

I ordered a Saxon Math book. I understood that it was pretty used, but I didn't expect it to be falling apart and have pen answers written in the book to all the beginning questions. It is in pretty terrible shape, I wish there had been a clearer description and pictures to show what condition it was really in.
