I have used this service several times. Books always come quick and are typically in as good a condition as stated or better. Only issue is shipping for each item, but you get such a good deal it's hard to complain
The book came quickly and the quality was better than expected. (Now I am just filling in more characters because for some reason Alibris has decided to waste my time by requiring 100 characters in this review)
Beautiful copy for fair price, efficient shipping, thanks! I am supposed to enter at least 100 characters here so I am writing some more so that it will let me submit the review. Overall an excellent experience.
You've had all the books I've recently looked for; love that you have used books. Really happy with 1st order received last week; looking forward to receiving this next batch. Thank you for using PayPal.
This has been one of my favorite books I've ever read on old movie stars! Ricardo Cortez was extremely handsome and a talent long forgotten. The author did a terrific job researching this book. I have read over it twice!
So far it appears to be easy. It was nice I was still in your system.
Every book I've ever needed: Alibris has it! Used or new, shipping is quick and easy! If you don't mind a few highlighted lines, it saves so much money!
Also, passing around the same book: saves trees 🌲 LOVE IT!
Best site to find books, especially rarer or out of print editions. Shipping from Alibris is free over $39, and the only thing to watch out for are some unscrupulous third party sellers that list items for low prices, and then charge ridiculous shipping rates that only show up during the checkout process.
As has been true in previous purchases, the items I received were exactly as described on the website. The order was acknowledged quickly and shipped very soon after ordering. The mailing process seemed to drag-on for quite awhile since it was sent via the USA "snail mail." However, every thing arrived in good shape.
I received this order on time and in the condition it was advertised. Though I don't like having to arbitrarily enter extra words just to fulfill an algorithm. Please remove the 100 character limit as it is completely unnecessary. If you are asking for reviews, they should be what your customer wants to say, in their words, good or bad.
Was really surprised they had the books I needed, a lot of major brand stores failed to have my books because they were labeled to "dangerous", but knowledge is knowledge, no matter what. Search and check out was a breeze. Will definitely be coming back here for more "forbidden" information books👍
Book condition was as described and was shipped quickly. The only problem? My review was not long enough (too few characters). Guys, it was a satisfactory transaction- do I really need to expand on that?
Not as fast as my Amazon Prime stuff... but fairly priced shipping and not too long of a wait.
Now... I have to keep typing to run out this damn one hundred character requirement. I am even typing out words that I normally abbreviate.
Use of PayPal was crucial.

Book came in perfect condition. Even though it was the international version, everything important was in English (chapters and all). I did have a 1 week delay on my books from usps's end, wasn't the sellers fault. Just keep that in mind when deciding what shipping you want. I would recommend buying from the seller again!
It's just business. If I can get anything that isn't from Amazon I will. Thanks for being available Albris! BTW the book arrived in perfect condition and I am very happy to have found an online book reseller.
The prices were good and the books arrived quickly and in excellent condition. The review robot insists that I make this at least 100 characters long, but the first sentence is all that I have to say. You will gain no information from further reading of this review.
I have subscribed to Alibris for at lest 15 years. My experience with the website today is quite good. Searches are faster, more accurate and interesting suggestions are good. Thanks for all the upgrades. I appreciate it.
This is my go-to site book buying. If there is even one copy of a book - these people can find it!
My husband and I have made the choice to no longer do business with that A to Z online seller, or the other bookseller that it secretly owns - Abe Books. After much research, my husband and I decided to try Alibris, and we made an excellent choice. The ordering process was easy, and the book arrived safely, quickly, and in perfect condition. If you, too, wish to make a change in your book buying habits, please try Alibris.
I use this website for books that are rarely found used. The selection is great and prices are some of the best I can find. The shipping is expensive but if you get a couple of books or more it's free so that's worth it.
The selection on the site is great full of rare and unique titles. It's a little annoying having to spend so much money in order to get free shipping as most book stores do free shipping or cheap shipping. I'd like to be able to buy just one book at a time but I feel that you have to get several to get the free shipping. Nevertheless, I like the site and appreciate the followup email!
I've purchased from Alibris for probably a few decades, and have never had any problems. They have also been one place I look when I can't find what I'm looking for elsewhere, and generally am able to find it. This was that sort of case, and a particularly hard-to-find book at a rather high price, but completely worth it. The book arrived extremely well packaged and in perfect shape, allowing for a few "dings" and dimples from the prior owner. It also arrived quite a bit sooner than expected or estimated.
I ordered a special edition of a hard to find item. After searching countless other sites, I found it here on Alibris, and for MUCH LESS than I'd' seen it anywhere else. The book was shipped promptly, and packed so unbelievably well, between multiple layers of stiff cardboard. And while the book was advertised as "lightly used", you could've fooled me: it looked brand spanking new. So well done all around.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

Answer: Really Michael, contact you directly? Why should we have to. There is a bad trend here. Seems MANY of us contact you and you DONT respond
Answer: I saw the fake stellar reviews and did not dig deeper. I til... I had an issue. Initially, I wanted to give a small seller some business after COVID and the site looked really good. What a big mistake that was! Shame on this outfit.
