First time on the site. It's easy to use and had the book I was seeking after Abe's books cancelled my purchase.
I wanted to purchase the book I bought from you.

Great books for a great price! The only thing I wish is that it would tell you cost of shipping before checkout.

Easily found what I wanted, shipping prices are reasonable, and I look forward to receiving my book in the coming week.
Best price on the book I was looking for.

Very easy, love that each book has it's own personalized description--But I can view multiple options at once that best suits me.
I am trying to branch off from websites like ebay and amazon that specialize in books and that. I have a few bad experiences with both websites.

I always receive books on time and get wonderful customer service. The selection of books is often just what I'm looking for.

Took me a while to find what I was looking for. However, I am very pleased about my shopping experience with you

No $5 coupon as presented
I allowed 24 hours for the coupon to take effect. Don't be fooled by this false ploy.
For the coupon of $5 off when ordering

You won't accept my primary card. And you sneak a "sign up for our newsletter" button under the checkout. It's not pleasant.

Book was available and with a variety of choices for price, unlike your larger competitors, who offered only a single choice. Thanks!
More competitive pricing and readily available choices.

Had the book I was looking for, when other (larger) sites did not.
Thought it might be my best bet to find this scarce title. It was!

Capital One said it had a discount for me at this website BUT. There was no text field to enter the discount.

Alibris should help with shipping costs, by suggesting when a book is available with another seller for books already in shopping cart.
Best low cost alternative.

Omg I absolutely love Alibris- I've found things here I can't find anywhere else- and for the best prices around! Thank you!
Great selections of books- great prices!

As a longtime subscriber I find this website wonderful--easy to use with a lot of bookstores onsite and the prices are right
Date of experience: December 18, 2021
Can't filter by book conditions and have no way of easily consolidating orders from the same seller to reduce the shipping costs.
Price and availability
Date of experience: July 2, 2022
I appreciate the writing of the previous owner. The price is not cheaper than elsewhere when accounting for shipping but I prefer to buy second hand

I rate this sight excellent… I'm looking forward to writing and doing lots of lesson plans and activities from these here books.
It seems to be cheaper than any other sights I visited.

Despite claims of lower prices from other distributors, I find Alibris availability, range of selection, and pricing almost always wins the day.
Many years of relying on Alibris to have and deliver texts needed in research & classroom use for pressing teaching schedules.

Was searching this specific book. So happy to have found it here!

You pre printed the shipping address. With many other vendors, you have to type in, all of that info, a second time.
Good price on the book; give y'all a try.

Thank you for having the book that I need in my college classes. Our book store on campus did not have it.
I have always used Alibris for hard-to-find books. Most of the time I can find what I need here.
Date of experience: August 24, 2021
It's great. Had to put some on my wish list because the shipping cost is not affordable on a one time purchase.
I've always bought from Alibris.
