My brother told me about Alibris years ago and he loved it. With local libraries closed due to the plague, this is my go-to for reading material.

The free shipping part is a bit confusing at first, but then it makes sense.
I have a lot of books to buy and I need them at affordable prices. Sometimes Alibris is about the same as others, but most of the time, they have the best deals. I won't comment on shipping yet. Since 2020, I have been fairly satisfied with the shipping time.

Found exactly what I needed in no time for exceptional prices.
Like the idea of used books - better for a first time hobby adventure & better for the environment - reuse & recycle.
