Alternative to Amazon
Posted by namrednef on Sunday, February 17, 2008 9:32 AM

I apologize that I can't find the post that put me onto this site in order to give credit.

Alibris.com

I found a pub I was looking for....many versions.....many copies.....at 1/4 the cost of Amazon.

Many Squadron/Signal pubs.

And you'll find alibris.com has others at the same or more. It depends on what you're looking for and it's availability. I encountered one the other day - cheaper on Amazon. But, alibris is often the better source for OOP books.

alibris.com is about bringing used books and their sellers together in one place. Thus the name "A Libris," which every book devotee will tell you is Latin for "from the library of...". The implication is, of course, that they are previously owned books. Thats how they started. They are more focused on that and somewhat less commercial than Amazon.

When you dont want or need new, which is about 95% of the time, alibris.com works. I use them a lot.

Cheers, David
