My "free reading" is usually on Kindle but whenever I want something special or unique or for a gift I turn to Alibris and I usually find what I want in the best
Possible condition and for a reasonable price.
I was looking for a unique book by a celebrity which can cost as much as in the thousands of dollars but I thought that if it was going to be available anywhere, and at a price I could afford, it would be Alibris.

I found the book I wanted easily, there were several good options and
Check out was easy.
It's an old book and I didn't think it would be generally available. Something
I could only find at Alibris

I've always loved Alibris. Simple, straightforward site. Always has what I'm looking for at reasonable prices which support small businesses. Win win win
I always come here for books

I wish the "Cape Light" Novels showed the number of the novel in the series! It was hard to try to get them in order. I had to go to Amazon and get a list, but they only went to book #21.
Amazon didn't have all off the Cape Light novels.

I am the spouse of the Alibris account holder and not able to find a way to change the "billing name " to my name though I put this order on my debit card.
Ordered from here many times before, quite successfully

I really appreciate the service of locating other copies to create consolidated shipping savings. I have not seen this service from other booksellers.
I like the amazing selection of used books in every category.

A little disheartening when shipping is more than your total spent on books but they try to save you money where they can and they have great selection and great prices.
I like the selection.
Date of experience: July 29, 2023
Quick and easy process, but they don't push or rush you.
Highly recommend.
Good selection of my interest in subjects.

I did NOT like having to enter the SHIPPING ADDRESS twice. Once on one screen and then onto another screen. What was wrong with the SHIPPING
ADDRESS on screen one? Please correct this DOUBLE~ENTRY PROBLEM!
Availability and least expensive price.

The Alibris online store is easy to use. They have good prices and usually have the hard to find books I am looking for.
I have used Alibris before and they have the book I need at a reasonable price.

It was fast and just what I needed, I lost this book and have the quilt ready to finish and so you saved me. Thank you very much. I know I will find the book I had right after I receive the new one
I choose you because I always come to this site and I can almost always find what I am looking for

Found all 3 books that I was looking for.
Found 2 at one shop. Had hoped that maybe the shipping would be less because of that. 4.49 x 2 seems high for 2 small books.
Good experience in the past.

I had a 15.00 credit coupon that was given to me by alibris and yet it was not applied to this order. So, for that reason I cannot say that I am a happy shopper.
Because of an email that was sent to me about a 15.00 coupon I had with alibris.

The account sign-in is a big pain. I searched without signing in and tried to purchase but entering my e-mail meant that the sign in was not optional. Great. Forgot password and went through magilla and signed in. Then the cart was gone. Back to searching the books. TOO MANY PAGES AND PROCESSES TO GET TO PURCHASE!
Amazon has enough money.

This is my 1st time using this and my item has not been delivered yet so once it is delivered I will be able to give a better review. So far it is user friendly
I needed to purchase a book for someone and it came up with the best price on Google

I really appreciate the availability of a vendor other than Amazon that carries the books I am looking for at a competitive price. The new price checker that helps save money is a definite plus!
Someone previously recommended Alibris and I have used them in the past.

Love all the option of purchasing th book I was shopping for.
When I receive them, we'll see if there review of the condition of the book was accurate.
Thank you
Found it on the internet and googled some info about the company.

I was able to find the exact binding that I wanted for this 1987 book with a plastic comb binding. The book is supposed to be in very good condition, so I am very happy.
I am a retired librarian. I know that Alibris is my vendor of choice to find used books.
Date of experience: December 8, 2021
When I originally searched the book I wanted it a while to figure out how to add it to my cart. Once I got to the page where you could do that everything went well.
It was the site that had the book I wanted

I was expecting a discount as was offered when I opened your email. $2 on a $20 purchase. I could not find a place on the order form to enter HAUNT.
Hence the poor rating.

Your website would not accept my email address for discount registration.

Difficult to enter credit card info. You said info was not correct but it was after 3 entries. You sent me the same last four numbers as on the card. As pain in the $#*!!

As a college student, my experience as a customer for the past three-plus years has been great. I have been truly satisfied with the shipping and the condition of the books I receive.
Thank you
I know that I will get books in great condition and delivery.

A good service. Wish I could find more than one book at a time at a particular vendor. Tried that once by calling a vendor and they had another book I wanted! Thanks for all...
Like buying used books.
Date of experience: November 11, 2022
I learn more each time. I am so glad I found out how to buy from one place today. I do not like paperbacks, like harlequin romance come in how do I tell the difference?
Prices and being told by a friend who shops your company that I would really enjoy it!

Checkout was MUCH easier than Book Outlet, which had a questionable box which required to be checked before processing. Caused frustration; I don't have a lot of free time.
Lol - because Book Outlet, although cheaper for the same book, only had 1 left and I wanted 2. Now I can compare product satisfaction to see which company I prefer and will refer to :) So please do follow up with me as I've indicated, thanks!

Pretty easy to use, a little confusing when it comes to which seller to buy from. Website could be more modern and aesthetically pleasing which isn't very important to me but could be to others.
Google shopping led me here because it was the lowest price.
