I wish more sellers would give complete info on editions of books that have a long publishing history -- the way the seller I chose did.
You're always my first choice for used books.

I have never been disappointed in a book I have purchased from Alibris. It was recommended by one of my favorite professors many years ago.
Best deals ever.

I love buying from Alibris. The only thing is you don't get the same price in books when you go back to see other options.

So many books to choose from. Disappointed that many new gardening books not available with free shipping but overall the deals are more than fair.
Wanted several gardening and history books and wanted the best deal. Coupon was another plus.

Good, hard to choose among many books in promotional category. Often significantly cheaper than online bookstore. Well worth browsing!
Well priced books especially when combined with free shipping. Needed book club book.

I shop around but am glad I returned to Alibris. Have always been happy with the service but selection and pricing also make my online visits worthwhile. Glad you're an option.
Wanted to compare pricing and availability. Like to support competition and not just patronize the obvious "A".

The checkout process was a bit tedious. When I neglected to enter my security code it made me enter all my credit card information again.

Best price and best description of book out of several choices. Will take a few days longer to receive but big savings worth the wait.
See above. Price and complete description.

I really like the system where you're notified about how to reduce your overall cost (including the shipping). I think that is a great feature.

Found what i was looking for at a good price. Now just need to wait to see if seller description, very good, matches alibris's standards.
I chose cause I knew there was a very good chance i was gonna find the book i wanted.

I seem to always find the book I'm looking for here, and the books are in the condition described in Alibris's Book Condition standard or better.

Love the amount of books you offer at amazing prices. Ordering is also quick and easy. Been buying books only from you guys for years.
Variety, discounts, prices and trustworthiness.

I backed out to use my $5 off coupon and it still was not applied.
This shipping was as much as the books. It's ridiculous!
The prices of the books is great.

This is not your fault, although I guess you could make your iOS interface "easier." I simply hate using my iPad for anything but games.

I've bought so much at Alibris over the years, and usually at very good prices. Shipping is often more then. The cost of items purchased.
I always choose Alibris.

Alibris almost always has the book I'm searching for at a decent price, and provides good descriptions of a used book's overall shape/wear and tear.
Date of experience: August 23, 2021
Easy to find what I want, to make price comparisons. Also like the option to choose an offered alternative that will save me some cash.
I like having the option of buying from nonprofit sellers if I can.

Because I hate giving money to Amazon.

It would be much easier if I could select all the books I want from the screen rather that needing to continually choose "continue shopping."
Saw after ISBN search

Had what I wanted at decent total cost. Will see if it arrives and when and if in good shape. Can > stars next time.
Just appeared as an option when looking for this book

Alfred Trevino & I use this site to buy most of our books and some dvds. It is very easy to use for older people.
Looking for specific movies. Your site is an excellent source to find LGTBQ books, movies, etc.

Items I would put in my cart would later become not available. Had to open site many times and recreate to finally make it work.
