Good condition, feels like it was loved by the previous owner. :) no rips or major tears
I was skeptical because it was so cheap, but I was happily surprised by the condition and overall quality of the book
The book was said to be "new", and I would agree it was. It was in perfect condition. I was pleased as this book is out of print and so is difficult to find in pristine shape. I would definitely order from the seller again.
Purchased Sir Orfeo from Lumahai Books listed in VG condition/Dust Jacket Good condition. If actual condition matches description, this will be a successful purchase. It is too early for a review/feedback.
I wanted to buy chess books for families to help their kids. I'm a chess teacher. I was able to buy multiple copies of the books that helped me gain a wide understanding of the history of chess, and the best ways to approach learning.
Placed my order Feb 28 and received it March 24. Shipping was from the US to Canada but was still longer than expected. The book itself is exactly as described and is in excellent condition for a used book (like new). The price was very reasonable. Overall happy with my purchase.
I was disappointed in the condition of the book. The cover immediately tore at the bottom. The cover and several first pages were creased. Many pages throughout were underlined in pink or yellow markers. There were several pages with comments written in ink or pink marker. The book was very worn.
Removal of shipping cost was not clear prior to final page - wasn't sure to continue. However, client Service responded quickly to clarify problem. Also unable to change shipping address to match address of new credit card with wife's name. We have same mailing address.
The delivery and the packaging were good. If u are looking for the latest books, the price plus the $5 delivery can be the same as the original price. But if not u might get some books cheap and make sure to select the book according to the description given.
Delivery time was reasonable. Book was described as above average however the book I received had numerous page markings (underlines, notes and circles) and the spine is in poor condition (separating from the folio). Will make sure that I don't select Half Priced Books again.
This book has been out of print for a while and I have been searching everywhere for a physical copy. Having that has made me very happy. It was more than I wanted to pay, but as hard as it was to find, it was reasonable.
Great to find a copy of a great 25 year old CD. The item was accurately rated…clean…sounded great. Sadly the hinge of the plastic case was broken, but it's a 25 year title and the CD is in excellent condition.
I found the exact special edition of a favorite book series. A trilogy in one beautifully bound leather book. I received it quickly and the price was better than Amazon. I would definitely order from Alibris again.
Earlier in the day, I entered my email address to get a $5 coupon
That never showed up, so I checked on line under your online address and it showed $5 off of $45 purchase. My purchase was $61 and he only gave me $2 off for the coupon code of January.
I've done business with you over the years off and on and have always been happy with your service and the books I received
I am not happy about being offered things that don't come to pass
Thank you
This was a great experience, I was looking for a rare book and managed to find it there. Purchase was straighforward, but delivery time took a while as I am based in the UK.
Would highly recommend to use this website!
Ordered 2 books. One I thought were sketches from an artist about NY. It turned out that it was a book with blank pages considered to be a sketchbook. The paper wasn't even of a quality for sketching. There should have been more of a description about what it was. I have purchased before artists sketches in a book. That is what I thought I was getting.
I ordered several other items, along with a book I needed for book club, so that the order would qualify for free shipping. The order for my book was cancelled, and not in order to get a different copy, I have to pay shipping. That bothers me, but not enough to not order the book I need.
Quick, Easy
The coupon email received was a bit misleading, suggesting that a $20 coupon was available for use.
The email did not include the information that $20 was for purchases above a certain amount!
I got $3 off! LOL
A different book with the same title was delivered in error. The error was corrected and I received the correct book. The book was in the described (good) condition. I'm pleased with the result and I would order from this seller again.
Super easy to use and to find the book I was looking for. The book quality was good, a little dented on the corners, but nothing crazy. I still think it was little overpriced for a used book, but I'll buy used over new any day.
Never a bad experience. About my last order: I found most of the books I was searching for at the price I was hoping for. Delivery was fast. The condition of the items was a described. Will buy again.
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.
