It's so simple to shop at Alibris. And prices on used books are way lower than Amazon! The book I just purchased was less than $6.00 at Alibris and was $554.00 at Amazon! Not kidding. Thank you, Alibris!

Upset. You don't have a customer service number that allows one to quickly talk to a real person. I misspelled my shipping address city and it took me 20 minutes to try to correct it, and almost called it quits and went with Amazon. No one has time to do emails and back and forth by slow technology. I needed to place the order asap. Finally I figured out I could send it to a new address and put in the correct spelling. You killed so much time of a valued customer and almost lost business because your checkout does not allow someone to delete an incorrectly spelled address and correct it quickly. Fix it please, for others.
