It's easy and so much more inexpensive to buy all the books I love to read.
I wish the delivery cost wasn't more than the book but I guess that can't be helped. Overall I'm very pleased.

Merchandise was purchased without difficulty, instructions were precise, and the estimated delivery date is a plus. Thanks for your professional services.
Alibis chose me by their presentation of quality materials.

I had to repeatedly reenter my email to estimate shipping options, and since the coupons were stingier than your email made them seem, I opted to buy 4 of 6 books elsewhere or later.

I attempted to purchase one book "The Campaigns of Napoleon" after payment I rcvd email advising book not available, when it CLEARLY was available when I went thru the payment process - so I tried again, same title, different and MORE expensive - same process - book not available. Can't you keep your website updated?

So far so good, but it seems every time I make a purchase, I never have a coupon or get a price break for being a long time customer. Rotten luck I guess.

The book was easy to find at an amazingly low price. The ordering process was smooth. Now the test of the pudding is the speed of getting the book in the mail and the physical condition of the book.
