I have been looking for affordable copies of this classic for months. I cannot wait to share it with my nephews I use to read it to, as they start there families

This is my first time ordering anything from this site but it was very easy to find what I was looking for and the ordering process was smooth and easy as well.
The prices were the best

I was told I would receive a five-dollar coupon. I wanted to use it but could not find it. It would also be nice to see the shipping cost before check out.
I want to order from a good seller.

I have been a regular customer buying used books from Alibris. My experience so far is very good. I got all the books in the mail and my shipping experience with the book traders was very good.

It's been good so far...
I have been buying my books through Alibris for the past several years. It is easy and convenient to place order for books that you want to read.

It is very convenient to search for books that are difficult to find online and even if I find some, they are very expensive to buy.

I have buying my books from Alibris for the last few years and I am very satisfied with my experience of buying books from them.
I knew I could get this book, a used one, here at Alibris and I did.

As a household of avid readers, we are grateful for being able to find and purchase everything we want to read in a way we can actually afford. Grateful for this site and all of the sellers.
It's the only place we purchase books anymore.

I click on coupon, left my email and address and info with you and then there was no coupon. That's rude. Now email will start to come and for what? That's unfair

Price and item availability

Great! A bit unclear how to do the account thing. Also, I'd like to be able to send to another address as a gift so they do not receive the invoice but a note saying, 'Gift from...'
I needed to send a thank you to someone who was looking for this book.

I like shopping for books through Alibris. I do have an issue though … every time I sign in and go to purchase a book, it reverts to a name and address I once sent a gift to.
Frequent customer.

Difficult to find and place orders. Difficult to ship to someone as a gift.
Ordered before

I love Alibris for old books, but they sometimes never arrive!
I use Alibris anytime I need a book!

I couldn't figure out how to remove my sister's
Alaska address from mailing addresses. She died a month ago. Also i didn't understand that the books eligible for getting over the free shipping limit had to come from a certain list. And was there 15% off as email indicated?
ALSO - HOW DO I CHAGE MY EMAIL ADDRESS WITH YOU?
Because i like to buy books through you.
Date of experience: March 13, 2021
Glad you had what I needed. It is hard to tell if the same book, same description, same seller, different prices are in the same condition. The order just needed more consolidation.
I have used Alibris many times. Great buys and very convenient. So much easier than going to the library. No deadlines and I can give it away, share it or read it again.
Date of experience: March 12, 2021
I purchase almost all of my books for my two book clubs from alibris and I have for years. You always have the titles I need for far less than amazon. Books always arrive in good condition.
It's my automatic go-to for book buying.
Date of experience: February 15, 2023
When I first check on an item and put it in the cart, it was at a lower price than when I came back from updating my password. I could not find it at the original price.
It had the item I wanted.

Ok, first time using this site, if things go well will use again

It is difficult to figure out which things were for free shipping, and the shipping cost on the non-free books were very high.

My experience has always been wonderful. I seem to always find the authors that mean the most to me.

Shopping was fine, would have liked an option to add a note since it is a gift being shipped to the recipient's address. I DO NOT AGREE TO HAVE MY FEEDBACK PUBLISHED
Was at 4 stars, but went down to three since I have to click the agree to publish box to give feedback. Do not like. Went down from a 9 to a 7 on the recommend to a friend for the same reason.
Good reputation, best price

I have bought books from Alibris for several years and have never been disappointed. Their service is prompt and dependable. I have also recommended them to friends and family.
I was able to quickly find the entire set of books I wanted.
Date of experience: October 16, 2023
I was excited by the prices, till I realized the sellers were charging higher than average shipping. Still - the total price of most books was reasonable.
I was going to use a coupon - which I forgot to apply, dang it!
Date of experience: March 30, 2021
Quick and easy, and it has an excellent selection of books. I like that it indicates for foreign language books whether they are an English translation.
Wide selection
Date of experience: December 22, 2022
Because i couldn't find what I wanted on AbeBooks
Date of experience: November 4, 2022
The experience was user friendly but the prices of the books changed. Also, the books are coming from the same company, there should not be two separate shipping charges.
I shopped for books from Alibris when I was taking college classes.
Date of experience: September 8, 2023
Ridiculous website... no button to return to shopping when obstacles arose during checkout. Limited descriptions on the books and small numbers of books on the subject.
Many past positive experiences
