You won't accept my primary card. And you sneak a "sign up for our newsletter" button under the checkout. It's not pleasant.

Book was available and with a variety of choices for price, unlike your larger competitors, who offered only a single choice. Thanks!
More competitive pricing and readily available choices.

Capital One said it had a discount for me at this website BUT. There was no text field to enter the discount.

Alibris should help with shipping costs, by suggesting when a book is available with another seller for books already in shopping cart.
Best low cost alternative.

As a longtime subscriber I find this website wonderful--easy to use with a lot of bookstores onsite and the prices are right

Can't filter by book conditions and have no way of easily consolidating orders from the same seller to reduce the shipping costs.

I appreciate the writing of the previous owner. The price is not cheaper than elsewhere when accounting for shipping but I prefer to buy second hand

I rate this sight excellent… I'm looking forward to writing and doing lots of lesson plans and activities from these here books.
It seems to be cheaper than any other sights I visited.

Despite claims of lower prices from other distributors, I find Alibris availability, range of selection, and pricing almost always wins the day.
Many years of relying on Alibris to have and deliver texts needed in research & classroom use for pressing teaching schedules.

Was searching this specific book. So happy to have found it here!

You pre printed the shipping address. With many other vendors, you have to type in, all of that info, a second time.
Good price on the book; give y'all a try.

Thank you for having the book that I need in my college classes. Our book store on campus did not have it.
I have always used Alibris for hard-to-find books. Most of the time I can find what I need here.

It's great. Had to put some on my wish list because the shipping cost is not affordable on a one time purchase.
I've always bought from Alibris.

Wanted to get off Amazon, thank you very much.

Felt uncomfortable with the way the free shipping is displayed on checkout, didn't register until after I entered my credit card info.
Also ordered from Thriftbooks.com, went with best prices, their free shipping starts at $10.00

My credit card was refused 4 times. I have a very high standard. These are all excellent rated cards. With high $$.

Entering the coupon code cleared my credit card number and code--though not the expiration date. I don't understand why this would happen.
1. Oxford University Press wants $55 for a 160-page book. That seems steep.
2. Alibris is not (I trust) connected with Amazon.
Date of experience: August 26, 2022
A little difficult to find this marvelous author off your list of authors and wasnt on book list that I found easily
Usually use thriftbooks.
Found my author on amazon thus your sight
