While I didn't find the exact book I originally was seeking, I did find two others also on my list, so I bought them!
Checking with my normal sources of books for sale, one of which is Alibris, and I found a couple books on my wishlist that were priced right!

As usual, I check with various sources for books, dvds and cds, with Alibris being one that often has the best deal. And such is the case with this purchase. Best deal I could find for this item was found on this site.
I check Alibris when looking at this type of purchase, and often find the best deal here.

Wish the shipping charges would go down...
Alibris is one of 4 "go to" sites for me when looking for and buying books. I check for the best condition and price, and Alibris is often my best choice, so I keep coming back when a book tickles my fancy.

Compared 4 different sites, and this book was in the best condition for the price!
This is one of the 4 sites I regularly use for my book purchases. At different times this is the best value, other times not. So I check all 4 before purchasing for the best deal.

I have to recommend shopping around when you find a book in any of the numerous book sellers. I just bought a new version of a book that is listed for far more money on other sites.
I always compare prices. I find many sellers available here with the best price, or best condition, of books I come across or am specifically looking for. I have been buying from the Alibris site for years and am very satisfied!

The biggest problem with shopping this site is not having enough money...!
I was just comparing prices with other sources. And when I can save a bunch of money, and my OCD has kicked in, forcing me to take advantage of a good deal when all the dollars that visit me so briefly have not gone away for good, I do.

So quick and easy to find and order the book I wanted. Nice price too!
I have ordered from Alibris a few times and have never been disappointed! Hoping this experience will prove to be the same.

I ordered a book for my son only to find out that the order had to be canceled from your end.
I have usually had satisfied with Alibris so I gave another chance.
Now with this reorder, I have to pay double what I wanted to.

Easily found what I wanted & editing my Account data was"rather" easy...the message CONFIRM AND CONTINUE was was in a font the same as all other words [ I'm color blind, so the colored message box was lost on me]. I almost quit on 3rd attempt and head over to another site, but I have a loyalty feeling for Albris AND I Really want this book & price!
Once I saw "confirm and continue" I locked up the order.

I have always been pleased with Alibris. If I'm looking to purchase a book, Alibris is ALWAYS my first stop.
I've received far too many damaged books from Amazon. The damage is usually due to poor packaging. Amazon simply doesn't care, so I only order through Amazon if I can't find the book elsewhere.
Date of experience: February 21, 2024
Product arrived undamaged, unlike shipments I've received from Amazon.
Very pleased with this transaction. Thank you!
I've yet to have a problem with Alibris.
Keep packaging books properly...and you'll keep me as a customer.
