Efficient & effective; straightforward searching makes locating the right book very easy.
Out of all the websites for books (particularly antiquarian ones) I find Alibris to be the best by far. The advertised price is always the price you pay, unlike other platforms that lure you in with a competitive price but once you click on the item the price rises and, in some instances, dramatically!
I love that the price on Alibris is always in my currency but most of all, my favourite thing about Alibris is the flat rate postage.
I am an academic / amateur historian. All the items I buy are for my personal collection. I do not resell any items. I do not have an unlimited amounts of money nor do I work in conjunction with any business or other person/s. My purchases are always on a strict budget and are always carefully researched and planned.
I am extremely grateful that Alibris allows me to indulge my passion for old and often smelly books within my niche area of interest. I thank-you.
Super easy. Straightforward and quick. Alibris is one of my go to website for books which are always competitively priced.
Love the choice of books - a great catalogue.
Easy to select and order
Quick and efficient and the price is very good. Easy to use site and usually books arrive quickly
