Love this company. Shipping cost a little high but finding older titles at low cost evens out shipping.

Quick and smooth transaction. The search features and purchasing options built for the purchaser were an added bonus!
We used to use a different company that no longer provides used textbooks.

The website is easy to use. Straightforward and simple. The prices are great and beat almost everywhere else!
I wanted to find books at a cheaper price.

Books are a good price/value. However, shipping seems too high. Consider a lower rate for multiple books purchased.

This is the first time I've used Alibris. So like the saying goes, first impressions last a lifetime

Late in the check-out process.
They were the only one with a specific book by Bradford Angier I was looking for.

Most ideal price.

Easy to find book I needed and understand the different ratings describing condition. Very easy to check out.
I didn't want to pay full price for the brand new book and my Bing search showed you had it at a great deal.

Wondering about Hippo vs. Owl books. Same review. Same book? Same city. Is there an interesting story here?
Just wanted the book.

I also selected some inexpensive items. I dropped them due to their ratio of shipping cost to price.
They used a bit of deceptive pricing on their electronic book. Once I was at the site I continued to order.

Website was fast, efficient and the the price was reasonable. I appreciate that they were willing to ship to an alternate address.

It seems there's no way to message seller or you when it comes to combined shipping amount, or other issues before paying.

Easy to locate this book when I did not find it on Amazon. Instructions are clear and pages are easy to navigate.
