Yes, you can safely remove the BooksRun sticker from the back cover of your book. Our stickers are designed to be removable and should not damage the book when handled properly.
BooksRun places eco-friendly stickers on all used condition books for the following reasons: These stickers are applied before inspection in the warehouse as part of the inventory process.

Brand Recognition | Stickers serve as brand identifiers on our pre-owned stock. |
To remove the BooksRun sticker without damaging your book:
Use a Hairdryer:
Gently heat the sticker for about 20–30 seconds to soften the adhesive.
This makes peeling it off much easier and cleaner.
Peel Slowly:
Start from one corner and gently lift the sticker.
Avoid using sharp objects that may scratch the cover.
Clean Off Residue:
Apply Goo Gone or a similar adhesive remover to a soft cloth.
Lightly rub the area to remove any remaining residue.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth afterward.
Our stickers have been recently updated to be more user-friendly:
Easily removable
Less adhesive residue
Still eco-conscious
This means less hassle for you when peeling them off.
Why are stickers mandatory on used books?
BooksRun uses stickers to streamline inventory tracking and ensure efficient warehouse management. This ensures that transactions, such as returns, happen seamlessly.
Can I leave stickers from other sellers before sending books for buyback?
No. All stickers, particularly ones that obscure ISBNs or other identifying marks, must be removed to avoid rejection.
