The condition of the book wasn't as good as I expected based on how it was labeled. Condition should have been poorer and price lower. It was a gift so I hoped it to be nicer.

SMOOTH

YOU SHOULDN'T DEMAND A LONGER DESCRIPTION
I ALSO DON'T KNOW WHY "date of experience" MUST BE A SINGLE DAY---I HAD TO MAKE UP A SINGLE DATE

WHEN I WROTE "SMOOTH" WHICH SUCCINCTLY EXPRESSED MY FEELING, I COULD NOT SUBMIT

I WILL NOT FILL OUT YOUR EVALUATION FORMS AGAIN AND I REDUCED THE SCORE I GAVE TO "would recommend Alibris to a friend or colleague?"

My experience was excellent! I found a ton of books that I lost and the price point was great! No issues with shipping even during the holiday season.

The book I purchased was published in the early 2000's. I was surprised that there was a good selection to choose from. My library didn't have this book in print.

I looked for a book I read this year, 7 Women, by Eric Metaxas to purchase for Christmas presents for my daughter and daughter-in-law. I found a real bargain at Alibris. They had brand new copies purchased for some kind of class graduation. I got both for under $3 with combined shipping too!. Great way to save money and still enjoy great books. Thanks!

I work in a public library and I am often searching for books that patrons want to buy. I recommend this website to them. They come back and thank me.

Alibris was able to locate the next book in the series that I had started at my local library, but they did not offer this book, so I was glad you had it at a reasonable price. I have purchased from you before and have always been pleased.

I always go to Alibris first when searching for a book online. The book I ordered was published in 1950 and you had several copies. I have never been disappointed in the book or the pricing when I receive the book in the mail.

Usually it's quick and simple. This time I ordered book with the truck symbol for free shipping and found it confusing till the very end. The free shipping didn't show up till the final page of check-out.

My previous order was being sent to wrong address (order *******-1 on Dec. 28); my default address should always be to me, Robert S Johnson at 1020 Presidents Lane, Forest VA *******.

Having been dissatisfied with some of Amazon's shipping practices, I called Bookshop Santa Cruz hoping they would have a copy of the Duke Ellington biography I wanted to read. Bookshop no longer had copies of what I was looking for. Their staff member recommended Alibris. When I went to your website, I not only found a copy for sale, but the price was more than reasonable. Receiving delivery of the book was a slow -- and uncertain -- process. I feared that it would be delivered when we would be away from home, making holiday family visits. Alibris's tracking was difficult for me, though I must admit to being inept when it comes to completing even the simplest digital tasks. I wished, in vane, for an 800-number to call with a live attendant who could track the shipment. This narrative has a happy ending: the Ellington bio arrived at our front door two days before our departure.

Your site is easy to navigate in and very clearly displayed. The composition is attractive and the pricing is intelligently presented.

For over ten days the order or most of it from ALIBRIS central remained pending. Also one one of the books involved was the wrong title or the wrong part. Going back, the actual blurb for it seems to be 'confused'. It has already been returned.

ALIBRIS is honestly one of the few places from which I will purchase used books online. The variety is unmatched and I always trust that the products will arrive quickly.

Good value, easy to order, the actual book vendor was good.
Have used Alibris before--- works well, fair prices, accurate ratings of the "used books"

I found old books that are no longer in print or not on current book lists but still worth reading. Alibris is my one stop shop that can deliver just the book I'm looking for.

I ordered the book as brand new and that's what I received. Shipping took a bit longer than I expected but overall price was good and happy to have gotten the book new and at a good price.

I ordered a book using the ISBN number to obtain the edition I wanted, and the process was flawless! The book arrived, as described and in excellent condition. Thank you!

It was quick and easy even though this is the first time that I've used alibris. Please keep it that way. I'm here because the "other guys" have made the process too complicated. They want too much information or they get information wrong and it's difficult to get the error corrected.

On December 9 I ordered a book for my wife for Christmas. Over a week later, I emailed to check whether it had shipped, as I hadn't received the promised email giving me tracking information. I got an email back telling me the order had indeed shipped on the day I ordered it, but no tracking number had been generated. This was the source of some anxiety, as Christmas approached. Sometime later that day I got an email telling me the order had just shipped and giving me a tracking number. Irritated, I emailed back and asked to cancel the order. But I was told it was too late, as the tracking number had been generated. This despite the fact that when I checked the status, it was awaiting pickup. And I'd been lied to.
In the end, the book arrived the day before we were set to travel for Christmas, December 22. So it worked out, sort of, but would you, dear reader, order from a company like that?
