    Zoom books shipped in a plastic bag, but doubled the bag. I was relieved to see the interior bag, as the exterior bag was rubbed, stretched, had multiple holes. Books arrived okay, but I wish all the book sellers would offer a buyer the option of paying more for cardboard to protect the books, especially the corners. Many used books are vintage, and it's a shame to dent their corners in shipping. Books were as listed and a good value, and correct items sent. GOOD SELLER.

    As described was a great value and one of the few books I was missing iN my set as a hardcover. Great value. It looks brand new and I am very Happy with the enIRE EXPERience. The seller took the precautions of having it shipped quick;y and wrapped to make sure it would not be damaged in shipping. I am very appreciative Of their value and treatment of his book. Will definitely recommend this seller to my book club for their book needs. Nice to know they don’t gouge the price like so many do.

    My book came not in the way described- I mentioned it to Zoom Books (Seller), who promptly addressed the situation and gave me options on how to proceed...which I was NOT expecting. These days, exceptional Customer Service can be a bit of a rarity- I MUST say, that, HANDS DOWN, the Integrity, Alacrity and Speed involved in making me happy re: my purchase was OUTSTANDING! Zoom Books has won a FOREVER CUSTOMER- I shall endeavor, whenever I can, to purchase from THEM- YOU SHOULD TOO! A+++ & BEYOND!

  • Disappointed

    This book was required for a college certificate program I am taking. It is not a bad book -- but I was disappointed in it. Not what I expected for a college course. Information is just not that good.
