Alibris started trading in 1993. However, at the time the company was known as Interloc. It was the brainchild of Richard Weatherford. He originally taught at college before trying to start a computer-based antiquarian book business in 1982. However, computers were rare at this time, and connectivity between them was almost non-existent. It took nearly ten years before the market was right for his idea and he launched in 1993 to sell books to professionals only. This time the idea was well received and he quickly became popular. By 1997 he found himself in contact with a Marty Manley and the new business, Alibris, was born. The aim was to provide old and rare books to anyone who wanted them. The logistical approach and attitudes of the company were re-written but the result was perfect, Alibris has garnered an enviable reputation and is considered one of the leading businesses in their field.
