PROFILE |
 |
When the average bookstore just won't do, there's Alibris. The online retailer provides millions of out-of-print and hard-to-find books, manuscripts, maps, photos, prints, and autographs. Independent booksellers from around the world supply Alibris with books. Customers include libraries, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers in the US, although it is expanding overseas. Chairman Richard Weatherford founded the company as Interloc in 1994 and relaunched it as Alibris in 1998. The company is backed by investors such as Ingram Industries' Ingram Book Group (the world's largest book distributor) and investment firms CMGI, Bedrock Capital Partners, Aberdare Ventures, and Weiss, Peck & Greer Venture Partners.
