The books I have ordered in very good condition (that's all I go for) have come to me looking brand new. This is a great way to get books! I love it.
I have a lot of text books I needed to order for school. A friend told me about you, and I am definitely very pleased.

So far the experience has been easy, I have not received the book yet so I am hoping the description is in point!
Had what I was looking for at a reasonable price!
Date of experience: March 1, 2024
Shipping cost jumped double after I logged into Paypal. Please adjust shipping when delivery address is entered, not when payment is being processed.
The book I was looking for was available at a good price.

Alibris is the best. I don't always need new, and your used selection is wonderful. Great prices and prompt delivery.
Because I figured (correctly) that you’d have exactly what I needed.

If you expect a two-letter abbreviation in the State field on your billing form, you should put a placeholder or something saying that.
Date of experience: December 9, 2023
Was quick and easy, the menus and such are layed out well and not a mess of ads and junk I don't want.
I was watching mysteries at the museum when it mentioned this book- actually had a whole segment on it, "Ashton's Memorial: Or, an Authentick Account of the Strange Adventures and Signal Deliverances, of Mr. Philip Ashton"
Well they told the story well, but I'm sure there is more to it, so I want to read the book myself, looked it up, and you guys had it for a good price, thank you!

Always enjoy a browse at Alibris as I have been a customer for many years. I also love reading plays!
I've been thinking about Irish playwright Sean O'Casey and his play "The Plough and the Stars". (I've never seen it!) I heard somewhere that the Irish refer to the Big Dipper in the night sky as "The Plough". I figured I'd learn if that is what O'Casey's play is about in a referential or metaphorical way!

I had 27 books in my cart, and the system lost all of them at my first attempt at checkout. I had to start over, and the subject listings were very different. I never found some of those books again. I invested an additional hour looking for them, and I ended-up with mostly different books.
You have sent me several discount coupons and I finally had time to use one. Plus, my very first experience with you -- a month or so back -- was good.
