Tried B&N but had to agree to join a rewards program that I do not want; tried Amazon but you really need a Prime membership to make it worthwhile. Alibris was fast and straightforward.

Only place I could find to rent this book.

Very quick to find what I was looking for and easy check out.
The book I was looking for was the cheapest here.

It's nice- but the shipping gets you - no way to combine shipping
amazon.com has a major issue- when you order a book from them or the businesses that sell on amazon, they do not notify you that the book is out of stock - instead they send an email that does not explain the reason of the refund, so you are left guessing what the problem was.

It is extremely difficult to see the shopping cart on your webpages - and as a matter of fact I did not see it on any page, so I ended up accidentally adding the same dvd 3 times in an attempt to find the shopping cart.
I used to deal with amazon, but after a problem with purchasing a dvd ended up being a big mess - and amazon did not help resolve the issue, I want nothing to do with them - which is why I am trying out your business to see if you are a good replacement for Amazon.

I would like to be able to filter my search by condition of the book. Otherwise, I like your site.
Because I've had good luck here in the past - had what I was looking for at a reasonable price.

Almost always find what I am looking for and for a fair price
The only place I found this was amazon, and I do not support that machine

I've never had a bad experience on this website.
Easy to navigate and great sellers.
I did a little price comparison and found a new book here for a little less than a used book for another site. I am loyal to both, but took the deal today. :)

I usually check a couple sites, this time found a vintage book with dust jacket in decent and am delighted.
Date of experience: September 14, 2021
I shop around, this was not the least expensive price I found, but I've always had a great experience and this was a more expensive book than I usually buy and decided I'd spend an extra few dollars and support the company that has earned the business.

This is one of two online sellers I look at first.
Date of experience: April 25, 2021
Very reasonable. However, the shipping adds to the overall cost.
Recommendation from Megan Quinlan on YouTube.
