Simple and Effective Books Sale!
February 7, 2025

BooksRun offers a user-friendly website for pricing the books you want to sell. The label is emailed, and a quick visit to the Post Office yields a positive monetary return for your time and efforts. I highly recommend BooksRun for your textbook-selling needs!

Text -- Context
February 3, 2025

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.

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

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.

Wonderful condition, shipped right on time
January 30, 2025

I purchased a children's book from the 1980s that I've been trying to track down for years for my dad. The book was in pristine condition, arrived in weather proof packaging two days early, and was so fairly priced. It truly made the holiday season!

Sent a book in perfect condition in the binder with all pages in chronological order and somehow it was denied for not being acceptable. There was no pictures or anything given to me as proof. Contacted support they were unable to help or give me any additional information. I've since received the book back and just as I expected it is in perfect condition.
