Thank you for offering reading material for a discounted price. So far the books I have purchased have been pretty good. Only one was smoke odored.
The books I would like to read are cheaper on Alibris. I do not mind buying used books. I used to go to the library and check out books every week.

Found some great deals on your site that were better than what Amazon ever offered for the same books.
I was monitoring several books for a while and took advantage of the promotional coupon that was being offered.

I found a better deal than what Amazon and eBay offered. Plus, you provided a discount code to help lower the cost! When I am looking for a book I now have another site to look for the best deals.
I can't recall how I recently found your site? It may have been through this site: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/marvelmasterworksfansite/dc-archives-message-board-f6/
To answer why did I choose Alibris: As stated before I found better deals on your site than Amazon and eBsy.
