Site is easy to use and there is an excellent selection of books. I like the discount codes, and always appreciate free shipping/handling.
Best price on some of the books I was seeking. I always check 4-5 sites for each book.

I appreciate the fast shipping and books arrive as described-that means a lot as other sites send books in poorer condition than described.

Routinely find out of print books I'm looking for on this site for reasonable prices & in better condition than on other sites.
The title I was looking for today I found on here w the dust jacket confirmed to be on, over a 100 bucks cheaper than other sites.

Easy to use, the description for each book quality was a nice plus.
Found copies in HC for an author I haven't found on any other site I've tried today, so over the moon.

Finding items eligible for free shipping was ridiculously difficult. Please make it easier to filter books by subject AND free shipping. Thank you.
There was a coupon but it turned out to be disappointingly low.

Great. I just wish your coupon codes were straight forward. One that should have worked didn't work. By the description it should have.
Amazon is getting too powerful and they don't support free speech/information.

I have bought from alibis in the past and have had no problems. That is why I still buy items for this company.
I wanted this movie at a good price.

I would like a more granular search experience. I'd also like if the version or edition was easier to find or prominently advertised.
I refuse to pay for new books if they are available used.

I love Alibris and have been using them for more than 25 years. Shopping is so easy and the selection is always fantastic.
I always find what I want!

Shipping should be added to the original cost of the books like other booksellers do. When you get final shipping costs, it's shock.
I've used it before.

Ordered it. It arrived promptly. It is in excellent condition
Purchased from them previously. Dependable company

If the book is in the "very good" condition that they claim, I'll be extremely happy. Price was far below that of new.
Used book at a very reasonable price

First I want to order one book I tried at least 5 times but fail until I try 3 books…. Is it normal?
Original I am impressed the price is less than $2 per book

So far, I am pleased with this order. I am waiting for shipping (packaging, item condition, delivery time) to rate that aspect. Thanks!
This was a very fair price and included a coupon.

My sister told me about Alibris.com. Your site had the book and it was so easy to enter and submit the order. Thanks!
My sister told me about your web-site.

Pretty easy, hoping that the quality of the book matches what is posted on the site. I've had some difficulty with other sellers.
I hate Amazon.
Date of experience: September 9, 2021
The price for the book was incredibly cheap and the site has no obtuse menus or pages that take too long to load.
I'd heard from a few people online that Alibris is a great place to find books for a bargain. Not disapointed
Date of experience: December 15, 2022
Book prices and selection great! Unfortunately it took me three tries to get logged in and buy my book. Hopefully problem is solved.
Past good service, fair dealing and fast service.

Very easy to place the order. I had looked at a few other book stores, ebay, amazon and no one had this book.
They had the book I wanted.
