Very easy to use your search and payment systems Thank you. I like your basics on the page, without distractions.
I believe you are an independent book store, and hope I am correct. I do not choose to buy from Amazon, or booksellers that feel they can't be sustainable without depending on them. We will never be sustainable if we think that way!

General clarity and ease of navigation — will wait until product is in hand for definitive review of this trip.
Local independent bookstore didn’t have, couldn’t get and also was not affiliated with Alibris (tho’ he sent me here anyway). Shop local! (@first anyway)
