Let me respond as a librarian, and as an OP dealer. As a librarian, I try to keep a full bag of tricks for finding material. Therefore, no service would get exclusive rights to our OP purchasing. The first priority would be speed of fulfillment; the secondary consideration is price. As an [after hours] OP dealer, I work with both Alibris and ABE. I prefer ABE because I can work directly with my customer without paying a commission to the middleman [Alibris]. Also, the communication is directly between me and my customer. Alibris, on the other hand, gathers all materials in Sparks, Nevada, conceals the identity of the supplying OP dealer and would generally be a slower service. As an OP dealer, I know two factors gain customers. Speed of fulfillment and accuracy in description. You are probably aware that the AABA has a set of definitions for AS NEW, FINE, VERY GOOD, GOOD, POOR AND EXLIB. Conscientious book dealers follow these standards and try to give as full a description as possible. We want a satisfied customer. We don't want books returning for any reason.
