Great experience. It's always good to find books online. Way to many bookstores are closing.
The best price.

I feel shipping is too high when you purposely buy from one book store you should get a better price on shipping. You are making money on shipping because book rate would not be that high.
Wanted better price.

Great price and they had the full screen version l need.
I like helping "Friends of the Phoenix Library" so Alibris is the right choice.

Take the time to set up account and future emails for $5 discount which I can't use unless I spend $50 dollars on used books. I don't want $50 dollars of used books at one time.
Not sure after all the extra shipping and no discounts.

Enjoy shopping here but need to have the option to to go back a page on the browser by using the "back" arrow or by another method on your page. It isn't working that way today.
Just checking on things I'm searching for.
Date of experience: January 3, 2021
I've been able to find books that I can't find anywhere else and the book prices are great. Shipping cost is higher than I'd like, but the high cost is offset by the low book prices.
Hard to find books, prices.

Pricing and availability of the book I was looking for.

Most the time it is all good. Every once in a while I I will get a book that it said was in a good condition but in fact was not. Other than that, I love using Alibris!
Cheap books. Cheaper than Amazon lol Just takes a little longer to arrive

Favorite online bookstore. I don't mind books that have had a previous life. I like library books because it's fun to check the labeling to see what city the book came from.
My go-to bookstore. I got Gotham: A History of New York City, which was highly recommended.
