My boss *lost* this library book as a small child. I wanted to find it and give it back to him. Thank you for helping me to find it. Xo
I was hoping to find a lost library book that is old and musty and kind of rare.

Books I need and save me money on buying used. I like the shopping cart optimizer to tell you how you can save money on the same books.
Used in the past, never have trouble with my order.

My personnel first world problem is eyesight. The white backround and light lettering are hard for these old eyes. Too much reading, I guess.
The dreaded Amazon did not have what I wanted.

I love that it's just as easy to jump in and buy a book whether logged in or not, frictionless to do reasearch, save to watchlist, etc.
Date of experience: January 17, 2024
I love Alibris, but I do wish it was easier to prioritize specific sources, and to get the benefit of combined shipping.
It's my go-to source for books.

Took me a while to get hardcover books to show up on the list of available books -- binding wasn't an immediately available option.
You are not Amazon. Amazon has turned into a completely unreliable seller.

All good until I had to reset my password and log in... my cart was empty and my selections were now unavailable! Geeze
Selection and price, in that order
Date of experience: April 9, 2022
The process was very clear. I do not usually order like this. The price was excellent and total was easy to obtain. Thx.
Never heard of this company before but the price listed on this book was lower than what other copies were selling for.

I have always enjoyed shopping at Alibris. My greatest worry is shing by USPS. They have lost a package and is always late.

I can always count on a Libras to have the books I want at the best price and comparison to other online bookstores
Same as above. A Libras has become my go-to when it comes to used and new books.

Coupon in today's email not valid, coupon on website (FIVE) would not work on this purchase, why? Have I misunderstood something?
You had a signed edition that I've been seeking and I wanted to try you out.

Would prefer a way to select books from vendors to control shipping costs which can be 3x the cost of the books
Used it in the past - site has a good search mechanism
Date of experience: December 25, 2023
Could save a lot of shipping if there was a way to buy from the same vendor
Used it before - best selection
Date of experience: June 1, 2023
All good - shipping just seems to be too expensive. I pay way more for the shipping than for the books, This order was 2.25 for books 8.00 for shipping
Date of experience: August 6, 2022
Shipping seems pretty spendy, I got all but one book from OWL
Date of experience: July 14, 2022
I purchased books several years ago from Albris and then, on checkout, found that I used about 5 vendors, all with their own shipping, Have not taken the time to figure how to isolate one vendor at a time to reduce shipping. Thanks, Mark
Knew I could find what I wanted
