Enjoyed this book which I purchased last month and have ordered another copy to be sent to a collogue who has worked with the author back in the 70's
A simple site to use – and shipping is far cheaper than other sites,
Easy to use site, doing this for my blind brother.
It was very easy. I was helping my blind brother to order these books.
This is a pointless question - it all depends on how quickly and reliably the books actually arrive, and the condition they are in.
Order seems to have gone through, but the payment process appeared to have more stages/pages before the final click.
You are rare and wonderful! I have obtained many books from you that mean a lot.
All the best to you and your good work!
Sincerely
Sissel
I think the most difficult part of ordering from Alibris is Logging in! Always a good place to go for books.
Love the range of books available and reasonable prices for books and shipping
Very inexpensive way of reading a book series. I prefer a book to ebook.
Always use this site - some delays with arrival now & again which have been dealt with promptly
I was kindly introduced to this bookseller by another explorer who follows trials left by writers - thank you for helping me find treasures
I found was i was looking for, best price so far. Shipping also not that expensive as usual.
Sometimes orders are damaged and discs are scrached. A good way to damage artworks is to push your finger nail to covers soft spots, so artwork rips.
Really needs to work on making the shipping costs clearer per shipper. Generally Alibris could do with a good UI person looking at the workflow.
Found what I wanted here cheaper and faster delivery than other sellers
Five-star good enough? Shipping to the UK is the best cost available. Congratulations. Too many retailers use an overseas order as an excuse to levy unreasonable charges.
Nearly perfect. Particularly good for finding books when I have only a rough idea of name or author.
Great site, useful interface and tracking features.
Very impressive; I haven't used alibris for some years and am pleased that your high standard has been maintained.
The shipping price indicated initially is different from the one on the order sheet.
Easily and conveniently bought text book for my daughter
