Quick search, clear description, fair shipping rates, I am happy.
The shipping cost is quite high:-(. I would expect lower shipping cost when I purchase multiple books from the same store as most couriers work with weight and volume and not quantity of items.
Very slow checkout process and page 'hanging' for too long.
Quick, easy to understand, can locate desired book without any problems and not a bad price either!
Ease of use and speedy service. Huge variety and options on web-site
Seamless, both finding book I wanted and purchasing it. Good site.
The seller responded immediately through email and sent pictures to verify the legitimacy of the item.
Very smooth experience - happy to find exactly what I was looking for.
Postage is high compared to other secondhand book sellers.
All nice and easy,like always. Cheap postage und very good offers
There is an excellent range of titles available and a broad selection of sellers.
Great site, lots of less popular books
For more characters, see $#*!ens!
Very easy shopping experience. Highly recommended. Thank you very much.
Easy process and a good choice of books. Only 17 more characters.
I was able to find exactly what I wanted! (and at a price I could afford)
Good site and good selection of books and alternative sources
Would prefer to vote after ordering rather than in the middle.
Good but ordering is only stage one, delivery is what is most important.
An easy-to-use website that does not require more information than necessary.
Straight forward easy instructions very good recommend them.
Well built and user friendly site. A perfect experience as usual
Not sure the too modern illustration matches the 1912 book I hope I ordered. Hence not five stars. I have to trust ALIBRIS to supply it from the US by the description!
Alibris offered a clear way to find a wanted book (at the cheapest price) and then payment
