I was in a hurry to find a birthday present for a friend

In books containing multiple stories, list the stories somewhere!
In the past, Alibris has had better selections of high-quality books and wider range of conditions/prices than Amazon. I'm not happy to see Alibris "pushing" more low-quality, incomplete editions that are more like print-on-demand than books worth keeping.

Extremely good selection of books. Site easy to navigate
I wanted copies of some obscure, out-of-print (but not actually "classic") books

Was looking for discounted books

I didn't get free shipping like I was led to believe I would.
Because I thought I was going to get $20 off and free shipping. Very misleading.

The shipping cost is twice that of the book itself. This is ridiculous.
I always check several companies before ordering

Love the prices
Date of experience: May 30, 2022
Lousy shipping options. Most of the time I pay much, much more for the shipping than the purchase.
Date of experience: September 30, 2023
It seems to me that:
1-The selection has dwindled
2-It's hard to conduct a search by subjects or ideas.
3-Shipping costs are exorbitant.
