So glad to find so many copies of this important book! I'll be using these to teach an adult Sunday School class.
I have been aware of your website for at least 10 years, and may have bought books from you in the past. The shopping experience is easy and the book prices are really affordable.

Thank you!
You have always had what I have wanted
Date of experience: June 19, 2022
It all seems simple enough so far, although I would like to see more than the one shipping option shown so far.
Again, just like the last time, you have the book I am after at a very attractive price.

This is my first experience of a site insisting on taking a PayPal payment in U.S dollars.
No biggie, I just find that strange when PayPal do the calculations before final payment is approved.
I've just signed up with Alibris & you gave me a US$5 discount on my purchase.
You also had a rare book in vgc I wanted for a fair price.
Date of experience: April 19, 2023
Very easy to find books not in the mainstream. Every book I have purchased so far has been in very good condition.
Good price for the book I was interested in
Date of experience: May 22, 2021
Descriptions are clear, location is included in description, reminders are set in check out regarding shipping times for over seas & currencies.
Reasonable price & location of resource.

PLease make the default address the last one used. Also your search engine would be better if it allowed better subject searches.
Date of experience: December 2, 2021
Why not make the default shipping address the last address used?
Selection + price
Date of experience: November 29, 2021
Would be nice if the last used shipping address became the default for the new order.
Date of experience: November 5, 2021
I always find the best rates on Alibris, 90% of the time items are packed well. Also enjoy the free shipping option.
Almost entirely due to the ongoing discount code.

Love this site. Can't find these books anywhere. This needs to be the first site I start looking and save me time!
Hard to find books
Date of experience: June 27, 2022
Easy to use web site, I found a book that is out of print and not available at a major book retailer.
I was referred by Aunties Book Store in Spokane WA as a place to look for a book that was out of print. I'm glad I found you.
Date of experience: September 13, 2022
Found exactly the book I was looking for in a very short amount of time. Only wish shipping was a little less.
Have had good luck finding the exact books I wanted in the past.
Date of experience: October 18, 2023
No problems doing this. I will be interested to see how long it takes to deliver. It was a very easy experience.
You had the book I wanted at the right price.
Date of experience: September 8, 2021
I was able to find what I wanted but had to submit my payment info like 20 times before it would process.
I would like to support smaller businesses than Amazon.
Date of experience: May 11, 2022
Excellent. I am not known for my tech skills but your site is easy to navigate and your pricing is quite reasonable.
Because I wanted to wrap up some Christmas shopping early.
Date of experience: November 16, 2021
Your site is easy to navigate & you allowed me to purchase a "sort of" obscure book published in 2003, thank you!
To avoid Amazon (who purchased the wonderful Abe Books & made it not so wonderful).

Love the Advance Search which allows me to quickly narrow down my requirements to get exactly what I am looking for.
You have a great selection and provide very good service.
Date of experience: February 19, 2022
It was good. The experience would be even better... if the S&H did not cost MORE than some of the books ordered.
You had better deals on the majority of the books I ordered. Just wished the S&H did not cost MORE than some of the books I purchased.

Alibris has always done fine for me as long as its contractors do 't send me simplified forms of classics I order.
Because you usually have classics that I want--esp. For gifts
Date of experience: February 19, 2022
Too many books requested to be standard editions and I get simplified forms for 4th graders. Make sure this copy is a complete standard edition, not something simplified or noted for grade schoolers.
They usually have what I need. But things haven't gone like I prefer so I am questioning their quality--see the note on my cancelled order about an hour prior to this one
Date of experience: October 8, 2021
You don't give me the runaround by adding things I didn't ask for as does Amazon And I have other books on their way. I How Where... Cradshaw is ready to ship
No one else had Dracula--which makes little since we're 31 days from Halloween. Happy Halloween to you!
