Website easy to navigate, book was located quickly, in stock at a good price from a highly rated seller. Checkout easy.
You are in my top 3 sites for used books, including Powells and that other massive site we don’t like to talk about. Today you were the only one with the book in stock used.

Competitive price and an acceptable estimated delivery time.

My go-to-place for used/classic books.

The only issue is the website design. Adding clear buttons to the book options would be helpful instead of linked text.
Thrift books and CHEAP

I have always been satisfied with transactions with Alibris. I find it easy to order online and shopping time is reasonable.
I choose Alibris first when searching for books. I have ordered through this company for years with satisfaction

$5 off for subscribing is deceiving, because it does not say for orders $50 or more until it reaches your inbox.

Easy to find lots of copies of the books I want. Would love to see better summaries/ratings and easier-to-find publication dates.
Trying to avoid Amazon.
Date of experience: April 24, 2023
The site search is highly functional. Would really like to have the year of the books publication easily visible near the title so I don't have to flip back and forth to Amazon for that information. That information is really important to identifying history books that meet our needs.
Because I'm trying to avoid giving any more money to Amazon.
Date of experience: February 28, 2022
Easy to search and compare prices. Wish I could more easily get book reviews.
It's cheap, and it's not Amazon.
Date of experience: February 15, 2022
I am delighted that you found the rare and out of print book that I have been searching for! Many thanks!
It was recommended to me by an independent book seller.
Date of experience: June 20, 2022
For the most part, pretty good. Prices are among the best. Some sellers chose not to get back to me, however.
It had the book I needed at the right price.

Love this site! So many titles(movies) that just cannot be found elsewhere, or can't be found without cost of an arm!
Got movies I’ve looked elsewhere forever and could not find!

I need to clear the addresses of mailing books that appear on my account. How do I delete multiple shipping addresses?

Looking for out of print books
Date of experience: May 19, 2021
I signed up for the $5 off coupon at the beginning of the session and expected to use it! What happened?
Anything but Amazon.
I do believe Alibris is headquartered in Emeryville and make the assumption that some profit goes back to my East Bay Community. Is that correct?

Date of experience: January 20, 2023
Alibris has the books I'm looking for. Often at a better price, but just having the books available, is really great.
Quick, easy, found my book. Nothing quite like it.
Date of experience: August 4, 2022
Any book I need, mailed to my house. Can't beat it.
Relationship, quick, easy, more than the library or a new book store.
