So happy to find this, and for the. I paid for expedited shipping because it is a gift, so I am anxiously waiting for it to arrive in a few days in time for Christmas!
Couldn't find the item anywhere but on one other website, and Alibris had the better price, plus a coupon for an extra $2 off.

Items disappeared from my shopping cart so I had to reorder. Then when I was checking out, the items were back, but all doubled, so I had to remove the duplicates.

Easy to checkout. Easy to establish an account. I thought I had one with you but you graciously sent an email saying none were found, which is better than IF YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT AN EMAIL WILL BE SENT. So kudos to the attention to detail.

Only negative... it shows shipping charges before you go to the payment screen even if it's free shipping. I was hesitant to continue thinking I was going to be charged shipping.

Was particularly good. The book I ordered had been hard to find, I bought NEW because it is a gift, but the availability of used books is a real plus.
Was referred to Alibris by Tattered Cover Bookstore in Littleton CO.

I would like a way to order two copies of the same book. I could not figure out a way to do that using the alibris.com website, so I ordered the same book from two different vendors.
The website was recommended by my local bookstore, 8 Cousins of Falmouth, MA.

Sellers should show the exact cover of the books so I know which printing I am ordering. Also some do not show the publisher date which also is a clue for which cover is on the book.

Wonderful, easy. Would like to have some previews of the interior of the book or at least the back cover. More info on the author would be great. Photos of the actual used book would be amazing!
