Love the options to shop for rentals, used, or new and the sorting feature which let's me find the condition I want!

Found what I needed. Unable to fully rate the whole experience until I receive my purchase and the condition it comes in.

Usually ahs best prices

It was a little confusing as to whether I would be able to change my shipping address before the order was placed.
Used Alibris years ago and was satisfied with your service. I am now trying to avoid Amazon so I placed my order here. Not Happy that we must agree to having our feedback published in order to submit it. Too much forced compliance already on many levels. Already

Excellent info, excellent website, have purchased from your company before. Like the ability to make a charitable donation at the same time.
Had the book I wanted in the condition I preferred and at a good price. Familiar with the reliability of your company.

It'd be nice to be able to sort search by pub date (which is maybe possible, but I didn't readily see it)!

I absolutely love to purchase my favorite books from Alibris. I also appreciate the fact that they are concerned about my satisfaction.
I can always find what I am looking for at the best price and by just using the title of the book. And I can shop with confidence.

The interface is clean and quick. Also, I found what I was looking for, which is a huge bonus, you know? Cheers!
I was looking for an old book, and wanted to buy from a company not owned by Amazon.

Wide selection and very good prices on used book but you seem to be making the big bucks on your shipping prices!
I had a new offer from you in my email and thought I could get a discount.
Date of experience: February 7, 2022
Your system makes it confusing whether you are really selling me both books at the same price.

I would rather shop on line with alibis than to risk getting exposed to illness! Many books and subjects to choose from!
Good choice of reading material, fantastic prices!

Lost my cart twice signing up for membership and didn't get the option to enter disc code to use my $5 coupon
Great pricing and the availability of seller ratings.

Easy to find what I looked up, the filter options were simple to figure out, and I will use this site again.
The About Us section told me it was the kind of biz I want to support. Alibris came up in a Duck Duck Go search, trying to avoid Amazon.

Would recommend this to anyone who wants to find the book they are searching for and getting it for a great price.
You always make buying books easy. Thank you

Nice to be able to shop by the bookseller, not just title. All my books could ship from the same seller. :)
It came up while I was searching for a specific title, and I like independent booksellers. I knew you were reputable.

I love your prices. I always find what i need. I'm glad you make it possible to buy from indie used booksellers

I love being able to find used books on this site, when I can't find them elsewhere and the price is reasonable.
You had the books I wanted at a good price.

Great - very easy to navigate the site. Also I like that I can view all the available books from a particular seller.
I like that I can find new first edition signed copies of older books.

I love supporting used book stores in California or Nevada. It is a good way to give business to local book shops.

I have purchased from you in the past.

Trying to use this site rather than Abebooks, aka Amazon! But the postage here tends to be a little steep to Canada...
