I tried to buy this book from three other sellers, it was such a hassle that I gave up. Your web cite was the cheapest, the easiest and the best. Thank you

I have been a customer of Alibris for several decades because pricing is competitive, listings are nearly comprehensive, shipping is generally quick.

Great to find my book. Took 3 weeks to arrive. I emailed twice about it and there was no reply. It made me worry that it was a scam.

I am trying to wean from other big on-line companies that sell books at discounted, competitive prices. I found Alibris and I will usually comparison shop with other on-line small booksellers. I am finding that Alibris offers the best variety of options, is easy to navigate, and has extremely good prices, very often cheaper than that "big guy"

Books I order are always in good condition. Since I live in the southern hemisphere, my purchases take a little longer to arrive than if I was a local purchaser.

There have been access problems, but it seems to be a general situation. Nothing that Alibris can probably do about it. I appreciate the many years I have been a customer.

My book was expected to be delivered on Nov. 20. I live in Olathe, Kansas, which is a suburb of Kansas City. From Nov. 17 to Nov. 20, my book sat in a Kansas City Processing Center. On Nov. 21, I checked the status and my book was now in North Charleston, South Carolina, This is what happens when you use both DHL and the Post Office--two highly incompetent organizations. It really doesn't tax the imagination to know how the Post Office is losing billions of dollars every year. I finally got my book almost a week late.

I find Alibris a great place to find those books that would have been hard to find, locate, or even publish. It is probably the best place to find books online. It would be even nicer if Alibris had a physical store.

Shopping with Alibris is always a good experience. What I'm not crazy about is paying $4-$5 shipping costs per book. That has stopped me from buying sometimes because by the time I add shipping costs, I can get the book brand new from Amazon for about the same cost.

But this experience was as good as it's ever been with Alibris. In fact I've never had a problem with them and highly recommend them to friends.

I ordered a book Nov. 7th for use in December. It got here in about a week and a half. I ordered it from Maryland but it came from Illinois. Very strange, but it did arrive in good shape.

Good prices, but it would be better if there were a way to match booksellers ans books so that I only had to pay shipping from one location.

I found what I wanted right away. The checkout process was fairly painless. It ejected my credit card information for some reason, but the second attempt went fine.

Well-designed website - easy to navigate. Condition of used items extremely good. Shipments are sluggish, but hey, we're not dealing with Amazon's network here and hopefully supporting small businesses.

I ordered a mass market paperback that supposedly was in "good" condition. Instead, I received a tattered, discolored book that had the covers attached with TAPE. I blame myself because the book was far too cheap, only $. 99. But I still paid $5 in shipping costs. I would have much preferred to spend a few dollars more and get a book that wasn't ready for the trash heap. BTW the pages are falling out as I attempt to read it! I complained to the seller but never heard a word in return.

Bit of a hassle entering address. Two were listed, only difference was some punctuation. Took several tries to straighten it out.

Great prices, easy to search and order. Check out super easy. Historically I have found the order comes pretty quick. Highly recommend!

The goodwill that had the book shipped it out almost instantly, but USPS took forever to handle it. Everything on alibris' side of things was good.
