Alibris Reviews Summary

Alibris enjoys a generally positive reputation among customers, particularly for its wide selection of used books at competitive prices and reliable shipping. Many customers appreciate the timely delivery and the ability to track orders, contributing to overall satisfaction. However, concerns arise regarding the variability in book conditions, with some items not meeting expectations, and delays in shipping for urgent needs. Additionally, the separate shipping fees for each book can deter purchases. Despite these issues, the platform remains a favored choice for many due to its extensive inventory and user-friendly website.

I have always had very good experience ordering books through Alibris, except one time I had to wait almost 2 months for the book to arrive. But whenever I need a book, and it is not available from the library, I always order through Alibris.

I am re-purchasing this book as the previous one I bought for a birthday present came with the pages separate from the cover and I had to repair it.
