I am a repeat Alibris customer, and the site has always been excellent for Anthropology!
Alibris had the 9th edition of William Haviland's Cultural Anthropology textbook which I reviewed for the publisher, and I want to see if they made the corrections that I recommended (the book was poorly written, probably because Haviland is what we call a "Sheltered Scholar" - this is someone who did their B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. Degrees at THE SAME UNIVERSITY, which means that they could not make it anywhere else).

Date of experience: December 8, 2021
It was very simple and easy to place my order! The prices are excellent for a student on a budget.
I chose Alibris because I was searching and browsing for books on my school's bookstore webpage. I came across the name and saw how great the prices were in comparison to third party sellers as well as our own bookstore. When new books or books with digital access aren't required, this will be my new one stop shop for books! Thanks Alibris!
