“Very impressed w/ orderly arrangement of products for...”

Cate Z.
9/16/21

Very impressed w/ orderly arrangement of products for sale, e.g., music, books, movie, etc. Makes sense! Also, the choice of sellers is easy to understand & navigate--I contacted one book seller Solr by email to find out if the used book they were selling was highly dusty (allergies) & they emailed back w/ details & evident concern. Alibris is now my "go-to" source for great prices, selection & quality of sale. Thanks for doing a great job!

“Very Difficult to change shipping address”

Stephen I.
5/17/21

Very Difficult to change shipping address. Had to quit internet browser and log back in again. Shipping choices limited. I know from past purchase that independent sellers can take their sweet time shipping items and often do. Why does alibris appear to charge at 1st class parcel rates and deliver at slower and cheaper media mail rate? Delivery window excessively wide.

Que porquería de libro. La Sra, Browning copió de otros libros la información y eso es plagio, robo de información. Con la excepción de Tony Buzan ella no dio credito de donde saco la informacion. No pude sacar ningun provecho porque lo que escribio ya la habia leido en otros libros. Para rellenar el libro y se viera con abundantes paginas, lo escribio con letras grandes y a doble espacio. Mi deseo era terminarlo de leer rápido pero no encontraba la motivacion. Antes de llegar a la pagina 40 me di cuenta que habia tomado una mala decicion en obtener el libro. A aveces me sentia molesto por haberlo comprado. En realidad parece un panfleto mas que un libro, yo no la recomiendo. Quiciera devolverlo pero no hay opcion para hacerlo.
