I dont know. Feels cool. We'd for sure love not clicking on an item and finding out is not available anymore.

Quick and easy

Quick and easy - linked from Bookfinder and my details were already on the system from a previous transaction and a guest checkout - couldn't have been any easier

Fast and easy way of shopping
July 17, 2025

Fast and easy way of shopping. I don't have an Ebay account, which all the other sellers of the book demanded, so this was the onlys option for me buying the book. Not to mention the very low price.

I've had trouble with topcashback.co.uk keep directing me to alibris.com, not alibris.co.uk. Better check. It has been a very confusing experience with the cart as well. I think because it's bet US and UK.
