About Alibris
In 1991 Dick was hired by Faxon, a book and magazine subscription service firm to salvage BookQuest an early online database for antiquarian booksellers. BookQuest failed but it taught Dick a lot and it revived the idea of Interloc. Because computer use was growing exponentially, the idea seemed timely and Dick was able to raise nearly $50000 mainly from booksellers who respected his thinking and vision. Interloc went live in 1993 prior to the widespread use of the world wide web.
