I ordered two books and they are in excellent condition. The books were delivered in about a week. I was looking for a third book as well but it might not have mattered because I no longer remember what it was and I am happy with what I received
The pricing seems non-rational for the organic gardening book. Perhaps it is a textbook but there are many many copies available. I suggest using a supply and demand model for pricing. Thank you.
Great book and delivery. Very interesting and great detail. I always like getting books through Alibris
Happy with this purchase, but damn guys, why do you expect such a long review, just let me give you five stars and go about my day
Books come on time. Descriptions of book conditions are usually correct. Prices are generally comparable or cheaper than other markets. And they're not owned by Amazon (unlike Abe's Books). Thanks and keep it up.

Quick delivery and all as stated. Good price. Good condition. Nice job. Will order from here again in the future.

Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

Answer: Really Michael, contact you directly? Why should we have to. There is a bad trend here. Seems MANY of us contact you and you DONT respond
Answer: I saw the fake stellar reviews and did not dig deeper. I til... I had an issue. Initially, I wanted to give a small seller some business after COVID and the site looked really good. What a big mistake that was! Shame on this outfit.
