I'm surprised how many books there are to choose from! Alibris makes Thrift Books look like garbage! So excited to get my books
I read about it on a website a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been browsing the site ever since. This is my first purchase with them and I hope it won’t be my last.

I was able to find a book I had a hard time looking for. Checkout as Guest was super quick, easy and efficient.
You guys had a book Ive been searching for, for a long time.

I'd like to have shipping costs added next to the seller, so I don't have to figure out who charges more or less.
Availability of what I'm looking for

I absolutely love purchasing my books from Alibris! Alibris has an amazing variety of content, wide range of different books, and great prices!
Best price!

I wish I could just order simply with my regular email address without having to remember some stupid password I will never remember.
You had the book I was looking for in used paperback form

I can always count on Alibris to find books that are out of print or hard to find. And the prices are amazing.
Looking for book to use for critical essay I'm writing.

Too many options to click to not receive emails. Now I'll have to unsubscribe when I get the offers from the final screen.

Easy to use site. Nice that they offer a recommendation of the different versions of the same book - reduces the research and guesswork.

It's quick, easy, and I love the sharing of used books. And of course, the prices are so great compared to buying new.
I was looking for a "paper back" option for a couple of books. But I guess they are only in hard back right now!

I was able to get a new trade paperback for a gift. The book I ordered is no longer very easy to find.
Alibris is the best place to find older books, and my orders have always arrived quickly.

I don't like how the shipping is separate prices and the shipping doesn't tell me if it is business days or something else.
Good price on a book

The experience was fine, I can give you a full review until I receive my purchase then it will be a perfect experience

Searched on Google for hard to find book

I found a book on my list that was extremely cheap compared to every other used book seller that also carries this book.
Just random

Less the book collector than I once was, still, when I want something very specific I turn to Alibris. Always worthy. Always fun!
Needed this Calder / Miro book now.

Alibris is a place that I turn to for large purchases because of the discount codes that are frequently posted to the website.
I found books for a low price being offered through the Alibris portal.

Lost my first order because I had to change my address, so I am paying a little bit more. But okay so far.
So as to not use Amazon.

It was very easy to do. I would have only preferred to see how long the shipping would be before placing the order.
Competitive prices.

I wasted about an hour trying to change my password then it took several tries to update my address, otherwise it was ok

I found a book I wanted at a really good price and checked out within about 2 minutes. What more do I need?

I don't understand why sales tax is added to the cost of shipping. Must I pay tax on that plus the purchase price?
I have had good experience buying from Alibris in the past

Ordered yesterday, unable to place order to ship to my friend. Had to come back and use PayPal instead of a credit card.
Had the book I want at a price I’d pay.
Date of experience: March 2, 2022
So far every book I have thought of you have had at a fair price. I would recommend you to friends and family.
I know the quality of your products and they're excellent.
