The Last Graduate by Naomi Novik
August 14, 2025

This book is the second in a trilogy (I had purchased the first new on recommendation from a smart reader). It arrived in good time in lovely condition.
Thank you BooksRun!

Fast and Easy
August 13, 2025

Very satisfied overall. The padded mailer the books arrived in was torn open a bit in several spots upon receipt but other than that it was very easy to order and return the books my son needed.

Shipping was fine. Most importantly, the used textbook I ordered was in sad condition. Worse condition than described. It is still usable but was overpriced. Had I known the condition, I would have selected a different copy of the text elsewhere

Use better packaging
August 13, 2025

Arrived with bumped corners due to the nonprotection of its poly mailer. I'd gladly pay a shipping cost to offset at least minimal packaging…

I operate an air b&b and this book is so appreciated by my guest that one of them kept it. I needed a replacement and you came through.

BooksRun is a great vendor for book buying! I've gotten excellent deals and the books arrive as-described! It's such a relief to have an online alternative to Amazon when it comes to purchasing print books.

I Need A Book - I Run to BooksRun
August 10, 2025

I'm very please. Books the school requires for independent are very rarely available at the library. Now that my kids annotate I need to own the book. BooksRun had it and got it to me sooner than I expected. They are one of the top 3 that I always reach out to. Never disappointed. Beth

Great Value and Smooth Experience
August 10, 2025

I recently sold approximately nine of my school textbooks to Booksrun. After comparing several companies online, Booksrun stood out by offering the highest payout. Although I was initially skeptical, I decided to give them a try and shipped the books in a securely sealed box. Throughout the process, I received timely tracking updates and clear communication about when I would be paid. Just a few days after mailing the books, I received a check as promised. The entire experience was efficient, trustworthy, and hassle-free. If I have more books to sell in the future, I'll definitely be using Booksrun again- and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their textbooks quickly and for a great price.

Bad experience
August 10, 2025

Never received the order as of date, sent email checking on order, no response to date. Will not order anything from booksrun again. I will be reporting this transaction to my credit card company, for refund, nothing else to write to get to 50 words

Great experience
July 5, 2025

I ordered a book, it was more expensive everywhere else. This was almost half off. The books in excellent condition had a bonus of being signed by the author. I was skeptical I wasn't gonna get what I ordered but it was the real deal.
