Always have the old and difficult to find.
Have bought many at this site, and the books are exactly or better than described.
Look here first and then check out others but always come back.

Fast, efficient, inexpensive, huge selection of titles and conditions. Always a pleasure to visit, and almost always find exactly what I want at an excellent price.
Because I always come here first when shopping for truth.

I was surprised by the seemingly high shipping costs and would appreciate having a reasonable estimate of those costs along with the prices of the books before deciding whether or not to buy.
You are my first choice in on-line book buying. I will go to other potential sources only if you do not have what I want.

Seriously! Figure out a way to incorporate shipping into the cost of the book. Instead of sticker shocking us with outrageous shipping charges!

I find Alibris to be an easy and reliable way to get in and out of print books I want at great prices.

It would be great if the sellers could estimate the shipping time. Even a 5 or 6 day range would be an improvement.

Simple to sort the available book options. No issue with "added charges" typical for out of country shippers
Disappointed with mark up from another out-of-print book supplier that was selling books from UK with added costs after initial order

Somewhat confusing that shopping cart is far above the items. You can't tell your item is in the cart. I found it though.
Internet search for book. Cheap price.

Was impressed that they even offered a book I was looking for at a even lower price. Saved me money and time. Thanks!
Already have done business with you before

Thank you so much for not raising these prices so high for a very old book, for people who are trying to learn.
Date of experience: September 2, 2021
The price was dropped a lot so that the high price of postage (normally $3.50 but almost 5 here) made up the difference.
I did a search for the book price, and yours was the cheapest, and it said in "like new" condition, and I know you are a reliable company.
