Alibris has a wide selection of goods. It is easy to find what you are looking for. Delivery was good. I got what I ordered. Prices are a little high. Alibris harassed me with multiple emails about my order, after the initial useful confirmation email.

I have a problem with an odd stalking group, so online shopping works.
I'm Italian, British mixed with Jewish, Persian, Philipino, and have issues with stalkers from a communist Black September (BS) group (kids, grandchildren). These stalk even online. I was heading to BN yet there are security issues in the parking lot. I have more problems when traveling to Houston with a Columbian, Costa Rican, alleged Ecuadorian group, and Venezuelans-Cubans from the BS group that are Lebanese-Syrian-Palestinian.

I find books, that are normally not sold to me through the US here. I have to purchase certain espionage books from the UK, EU (Germany), Russia, Ukraine, India, Pakistan. Often these are books containing cases that directly have affected me -- not necessarily negatively.
I found the book.

Good except that I wasn't able to use the $5 coupon because after I Entered my email address and received the coupon, it then specified that it had to be on an order of $50 or more.

Always find what I want for a good deal
Date of experience: February 6, 2021
An amazing seletion of books, at amazing prices. The only drawback is there aren't reviews, so I go to one of the big stores to read reviews then come here to shop.
I don't want to support Amazon. And your prices are often better anyhow. Love the free shipping when I can get it.
Date of experience: October 16, 2023
I find almost everything that I'm looking for, and cheaper than Amazon!
Because I would rather support you than Amazon

For some reason my credit card wouldn't go through the first 3 times so I stepped away for a few hours and it worked again. But otherwise I would have bought the books elsewhere
Cheaper and better than Amazon.
Date of experience: July 17, 2022
I can always find the books that I want on Alibris, and usually at a lower price, often used but in great condition.
Love the selection and the pricing
Date of experience: April 22, 2022
Great! I was able to find all the books I needed directly from Alibris and so get free shipping too!
Because I like your company
Date of experience: February 15, 2022
I found every book I was looking for right on Alibris and was able to get free shipping for 4 out of 5 books! (The fifth book is an unusual used book.) Both the selection and the prices are amazing.
I would much rather support you and independent bookstores than a company with such poor worker treatment like Amazon.
Date of experience: January 8, 2022
I love being able to find what I need, either new or used. And it's great to support independent booksellers across the country.
Because I don't like the way Amazon treats their workers and I would rather support small independent bookstores. And that it ended up being cheaper (used) is even better for me.

I typed in all my info to log in - It didnt recognize my info so I attempted to put a new pass word - It couldnt send the email to my email address - SO I tried another email and that wouldnt be accepted - I gave up - and cam back —- but it has been FRUSTRATING
Been a member for years but the new owners - well lets just say its almost like they are from a foreign land cuz I dont think they keep the online service working well at all - and I dont want a follow up - proof in the pudding is IF CHANGES ARE MADE

Having an internal list of sellers who have the book I was looking for was REALLY helpful! I came intending to buy a fair copy, but found a very good copy for only a little more.
One of the sellers had the best price through Bookfinder.com.
