Love it! Glad to find out Alibris is privately owned. Brilliant.
An shipping update on a book I ordered came, and a recommendation for another book caught my attention. So I bought it!

It's easy and Alibris always seems to have the books I'm looking for- I like that I can purchase from small book sellers, too.

So far, I really like Alibris. I shop here regularly.
Alinris has what I want at prices that are low enough that shipping costs don’t hurt so much. Everything seems quite fair.

Alibris makes shopping easy for me. They usually have what I want and they give all kinds of promos... I was not happy to be charged shipping on each item, but overall the prices are fair and it really didn't dent my pocketbook too much. I look forward to reading the books.
I am boycotting Amazon... Always. A colleague suggested these books and said, "You can get them from [the A word]." After I winced, I determined to see if Alibris had them. And... YES!
