Alibris Reviews Summary
Alibris enjoys a generally positive reputation among customers, particularly for its wide selection of used books at competitive prices and reliable shipping. Many customers appreciate the timely delivery and the ability to track orders, contributing to overall satisfaction. However, concerns arise regarding the variability in book conditions, with some items not meeting expectations, and delays in shipping for urgent needs. Additionally, the separate shipping fees for each book can deter purchases. Despite these issues, the platform remains a favored choice for many due to its extensive inventory and user-friendly website.

Looking for a hard to find, two volume reference work. Other sellers wanted over $200. Alibris had what i needed for less than have the price.
Website is easy to navigate. Prices offered are decent. Wide selection of Art, Architecture, Archaeology and Anthropology Books. Coupons are offered on a regular basis.
I received the book I ordered in 4 days. Common Crow books offered it at an excellent price. I'll definitely order from this bookseller again.
The transaction was quick, convenient, and easy. It also felt good to put my money behind an independent online bookseller.
Primer is all about high concepts and plot mechanics. It has some light character writing and themes, but negligible in any form of "style".
A good DVD will make anyone smile. Perfect!
Key Aspects of Primer
Production: Written, directed, produced, edited, scored, and starred in by Shane Carruth, a former engineer with a mathematics background.
Plot: Engineers Aaron and Abe stumble upon time travel while working on technical projects, creating a "box" that allows for limited time reversal.
Complexity: The film avoids explaining the jargon-heavy dialogue to the audience, diving deep into the technical and ethical chaos of time travel.
Accolades: Won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.
Style: Grounded in a "do-it-yourself" aesthetic, focusing on the mental and moral toll on the characters rather than CGI spectacle.
Conditions of books are accurately described and I find what I am looking for.
I almost always find what I'm looking for here. Delivery has been good and prices are unbearable.

Coupon posted on Alibris website when shopping showed expired at checkout
I order from Alibris first before any other website--but have never benefitted from coupons. The website works very well. My husband had one bad experience and now only goes to Amazon
I did not find a coupon, but other than that it was great I recommend Alibris to everyone.
I worried that my item wouldn't land in Canada when I saw an American address and was confused by it. Customer Service was prompt and put my fears to rest.
