My cheapest option.

Fast and easy, from start to finish. From searching for what I wanted to choosing to payment. Plus -- great prices.
Amazon and Thriftbooks sites are confusing and complicated. I went to the next choice that sounded the most familiar.

I love Alibris! I can find almost any book I want at very reasonable prices.
Past experience has been great. If I can't find it here it probably doesn't exist.

Thankful to be able to buy so many great books ar such an affordable price. There's a special place in heaven for the people who made this holy site.

Your system does not take special Characters, such as "é" in México. Addresses get confusing and I had to re-type my credit card number too many times.
Because Amazon would not ship to the US; I do not know why.

First time in a couple of years I've had a problem. The site kept rejecting my info. Finally got it to work and I love you again!
I have been buying books from this site for years.

Ordering was simple and straight-forward. Of course. I haven't been sent, nor have I received, the book. Only then will an evaluation be meaningful.
You had the book (Google said so!)

I have enjoyed Alibris for years! It is my ONLY CHOICE when book, DVD and CD shopping. Their books are ALWAYS in GREAT CONDITION! Many Thanks Alibris.
Because I LOVE Alibris!

I liked Alibris. The web site is easy to use. When I ordered before, my books came quickly and in good condition.
There is a particular book I wanted.

Found both books I was looking for, checked out really fast.
It showed up in the search.

One chapter into this library book I knew I needed to get my own copy right away. Thank you Alibris for always being there.
I used to use them when I was a children's librarian now retired.

There were no options for speed of delivery. That is a very important feature! When will this arrive? I have no idea! Terrible ordering process
The only reason I chose this website over a dozen others was to get Rakuten dollars

Buying a book was easy, but I would like to know estimated arrival date and shipping cost up front before going to checkout
Seemed like a good price and fast shipping
Date of experience: November 11, 2023
It was easy enough to order, and like the fact that PayPal is an option. Will let you know when I receive my order if anything changes. Thanks.
It had exactly what I was looking for, at some of the lowest prices.

If the book arrives on time and is a new book (not used) we will always go to your site for our books rather than Amazon.
To give you business instead of Amazon.

I tried two credit cards with plenty of 'room' on them, and your response was to 'kick it back.' The third card was successful.
Price of report!

I've had problems ordering books from other sellers, so until I receive the book, I'm very skeptical that books can be successfully ordered online.
As a hopefully positive alternative to AbeBooks where I’ve had a negative experience trying to order a book.

Purchasing process was simple…haven't received product yet as I just ordered it, so we will have to wait and see that end of it.
Found product I was looking for (I believe).
Date of experience: December 24, 2021
Got an email that said "free shipping" but didn't see any option for that when I placed my order. Oh well, it was still cheap.
Always prefer to buy used if possible, and from anyone who's not Amazon.

Love how so many book stores are able to gain exposure through this platform. The compare price-feature is a wonderful way to gauge market price.
Competitive quotes and there was a bonus offer today!

Always get what I ordered, have been shopping here for 20 years and have never had a negative experience. Very happy with your services.
Only place I buy books from

Good, except I would prefer not to save my credit card info on any site and did not have that option at Alibris.
Hard-to-find book.
