I find it easy to search for books on Alibris. They offer a wide variety of editions, prices and conditions.

Alibris is my first stop for shopping for books. Prices are usually the best. I trust their 5 star venders, they usually get the books to me within a reasonable time.

This is my second book order from alibris. I was very satisfied with the first order and so far it has been a very good experience with my second book order.
They have what I am looking for at a reasonable cost.

Just as easy as Amazon, and I'm about done with Amazon. I'm trying to wean myself off of Amazon. I try to buy from Etsy, or directly from sellers' websites.
I'm sick of Amazon and their woke agenda and censorship. I want to support the free exchange of ideas and thoughts. I ordered a 'banned' Dr Seuss book because big tech told me I couldn't buy it. Alibris may be the last, best hope we have to maintain a true 'library' of the written word and the true history of the world. For those of us with two brain cells left, we know: those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. My suggestion to you at Alibris: keep a list of the books that Amazon and eBay are banning and begin promoting them everywhere!

I expected two copies of the same book from the same dealer might have only one shipping charge. I was wrong. I decided to buy only one at this time..
I dislike Amazon. I have had good experiences with Alibris. My husband has not and will no longer buy from you. His name is Carl A. Slater, his email address is *******@mac.com. I have recommended you to other book lovers.

Wish I could specify different shipping addresses, one for each book, but for this time this is okay. I need to remember to order books individual for different shipping addresses.
I abhor what Amazon is doing to retail in the USA, and how they treat their warehouse and delivery employees. Workers need unions more than ever.

These books by James Barke are not available in the largest public library in my area. I am glad to find them available through Alibris, my go to bookseller.
I do not like Amazon.

I don't like Amazon and will not shop there if I have any other way to get what I want.

Love alibris and have referred it to my literary friends... easy to browse and find books that are difficult to find. And, most importantly, it is not owned by Amazon.
Looking for a Raymond Chandler Everyman edition.

I'm very grateful for their help & service. There have been books I've found here that I was unable to locate anywhere else.
I chose Alibris due to their reputation. They are excellent in every way.
Date of experience: June 3, 2024
I found what I was looking for and the seller's descriptions (and customer reviews) were all very helpful. I've always found the descriptions of the book conditions to be accurate.
Good prices for good used books.

It took 22 days to arrive, otherwise everything was easy. Over the years, Alibris has been very satisfactory.
It's a good online seller.
Date of experience: June 3, 2024
Easy to find what I needed, easy to create an account, update shipping address, connect to PayPal for payment, and finalize my order. Shipping and tax are fair and reasonable.
The book I needed was $3 less on Alibris than direct from the Thriftbooks outlet it comes from!

I got an email offering me $15 off this weekend only - It did not state the minimum order amount. Please include the minimum order amount in future promotions.
Good selection and fair prices.

I love your selection, the quality of your used books, their price, and the ease of purchase.

The Alibris experience was fine. The rest is up to the seller. One recommendation I would make would be to add apple and google pay to the payment options.
I found what I was looking for from a seller with a 5 star rating. Alibris is a trusted site that has been around for a long time. We’ve had great experience with past purchases and expect nothing less this time.

From your landing page, to your search engine, to your new registration page, all is laid out in easy to understand and follow graphics and copy. An Excellent experience. Wonderful.
You were the ONLY one on the whole internet to carry what I was looking for. Thank you A hundred million times over!

Do not understand why one choice charges me about $. 60 more for the books and the other charges less for shipping saving me $. 40. Seems as though the prices of the books should remain the same.
Wanted these books for friends and relatives.

I’ve used it in the past and was reminded about it lately.

I hadn't seen that the book was large print, that was way down in the description. I didn't want a large print book however as it was my mistake I thought that I just had to keep it.
Decent prices and trying to avoid big box stores.
Date of experience: March 28, 2024
Pretty Quick checkout though I had to enter payment information about 3 different times didn't release I was skipping the part about my credit cards date on the form.
Couldn’t find this book anywhere been looking for it for a while just cause am curious about the subject matter of the book, the title is interesting.

Seller cancelled order because DVD was in bad shape, which was great. Alibris found a replacement from another seller for a lower price, which was even greater!
