I don't buy used books (or books in general) much, but my experience shopping was good, I bought two books!
Did a Google search for a book and Alibris popped up with the best price.

Easy to navigate website and I appreciate being able to buy from and support independent booksellers.
Thank you!
I'd been meaning to order this book and got an email from Alibris at a moment when I had time to go online and order.
And because I like that there's a place to access and buy from independent booksellers everywhere.

Easy to navigate and description of condition of book is very specific. All directions are clear and concise.
Looking for a hard to find in good condition book, and I trusted the quality of Alibris over that of my personal past experiences with private sellers on two major outlets for books among many other things. All 3 companies had a copy of this book available and all were within a few dollars in price.

Despite unheard of near zero cold and snow in Texas my book arrived promptly and in great condition!
Found a hard to find book not available on some other sites.

Getting the billing address set to different than the shipping one was not straightforward. Had to repeat steps.
Because I know you have had out of print books in good quality for many years.

I added some items for checkout but they disappeared after some time. Maybe they are set to timeout?
Better prices than Amazon for used books, among other reasons.
