When you shop at Alibris you are supporting thousands of Independent Sellers around the world. The Alibris Marketplace unites Sellers from your hometown and the four corners of the globe. Not only are you supporting local and independent Sellers, you will also find the world's largest selection of new and used Books, Music and Movies.

We make it easy for you to choose the right Seller! We highlight the Seller's location and ranking in each listing on our product pages. All of our Sellers are required to maintain strict codes of service, to help ensure that your satisfaction is high — whether you're ordering from a neighborhood bookstore in Paris, France, or a corner bookshop in Paris, Kentucky.

To ensure a great experience we highly recommend buying from the highest ranked Sellers and picking a Seller that is close to your shipping location. We also recommend that buyers stay away from Sellers who do not have at least a four star rating on Alibris. Many of our Sellers have their own Seller Storefronts which you can reach by clicking on their Seller name. Our Seller Storefronts will provide even more information on that Seller, including reviews from other Alibris customers. If you have a questions about a specific item we also make it easy for you to communicate with Sellers via email.

If you want to become an Independent Seller yourself please visit our Seller Portal for more information and sign up! We would love to have you join the Alibris family.
