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.

Any book I need, mailed to my house. Can't beat it.
Relationship, quick, easy, more than the library or a new book store.

Great website where I found everything I was looking for at reasonable prices. The only drawback is the high shipping costs.
Looking for old books that are out of print and difficult to find at reasonable prices.

Finding options was easy and updating my payment method was the simplest I have ever encountered. Great books at great prices.
Great source for used books. I like a great deal!

Seller's clear information about book condition, plus seller rating, plus price, made it easy to decide which used copy to buy.
Best options today.

First of all, you had the titles I wanted! And the checkout was easy, hopefully the shipping will come through timely.
Couldn't find what I needed on another site but Alibris popped up having one of my titles.

So far, so good. Shipping costs a little on the high side though! Won't really know until I get the book.
As a big fan of Ruth Rendell, I've read all her books over the years. Or so I thought anyway. I was pleasantly surprised to find one that I have not come across before and another one that I'm not sure about. This made my day because Rendell has been deceased since 2015 and I very much used to look forward to her new books coming out.

Missing some of the series books and found them here

I usually find the books I'm looking for on Alibris at a good price with fair shipping price and timely shipping.
If something is out of print, I go to you to fins it. And, I usually do.

You lost two orders I was making. I buy books on Abe rather than Alibris for that reason. You are hopeless.

If other book stores are selling the same book more expensively, you can bet Alibris.com has that book at discount prices.
As I expressed above Alibris.com will sell the same book at a discount price. Thank you Alibris.com!

Alibris is the Best! It's been my pleasure! Thank you, Alibris.
I thought I would use the $15 coupon send to my email.
Date of experience: February 4, 2022
Search results consistent w/ search term and item condition and price easy to locate for two items I am interested in
Items I wanted were costlier at brick & mortar retailers and not much to choose from
Date of experience: July 24, 2023
I love this site and use it regularly for the bibliography of a novel writing project and for general interest book.
It's my go to place for buying book.

You are my standard go-to as I avoid Amazon

Tons of titles available across a wide range of conditions and prices. We've used alibris for years and keep coming back!
Date of experience: June 28, 2023
I love Alibris! Easy to find any level of book - from enjoyment to collecting - its all there on any subject. :)
The best source for selection and price. Also a great user friendly web-page
Date of experience: July 2, 2021
This is my second purchase. I was more than satisfied with the first book I bought. It was in excellent condition.
Did a Google search for a book of interest. This is how I located Alibris. I prefer to buy used books. Why let a good thing go to waste.

My experience finding and ordering is just fine but have difficulty seeing where and how to apply coupon and free shipping
I got an email saying I had a $20 coupon expiring at midnight. Didn't use it because I couldn't see where and how to do it

Because of past satisfaction
Date of experience: January 4, 2022
This was quick and easy. I like seeing where the sellers are so I can try to minimize the shipping distance.
Excellent selection of used books.
Date of experience: November 20, 2021
This isn't the most sophisticated website, but it works well enough.
I like that this is a low-key site, offering used books instead of everything needing to be new. And... it's not Amazon. That's a big reason for being here. I hope my credit card information is very secure - that's important to me. Thanks.
Date of experience: September 25, 2021
I always come here before resorting to Behemoth A, whom I do not like. The selection isn't as big, but I check here first, if only because it's not that other company. I haven't checked to see that Alibris actually treats it's sellers any better - I hope they do. The site is pretty easy to navigate and ordering is a breeze, once I find a book or a dvd.
Date of experience: April 8, 2021
As I read more I find buying used books a pleasure. The condition of the book is always acceptable to great.
Every book I have searched I have found here. I have saved considerable money to read books I could not afford.

Love shopping here, easy to find books I am looking for.

Pleasant site to search for whatever you're looking for. Very informative which makes it simple to find the exact editions needed.
Alibris had both editions I needed. The price was a much appreciated surprise.
Date of experience: January 2, 2022
Alibris sent me the book I ordered in excellent condition in a resonable timeframe for a decent price.
Date of experience: April 11, 2024
Easy to navigate, and I like seeing the location of each bookshop, so I can coordinate purchases and save on shipping.
I want to support independent booksellers and I hate Amazon.
Date of experience: November 21, 2021
I found everything I was looking for--including hard-to-find items. I can always count on alibris for rare and delicious books!
I'm so happy to have a non-Amazon option that allows me to support independent booksellers!
Date of experience: February 12, 2021
Thank you for having what I was looking for at a great price. The search was easy, checkout fast and courteous.
Best price.

Shipping costs are outrageous. I ship books all over the country and the prices are so inflated as to be gouging.
Need a book for a bible study
