I have been itching to get some fiction to read since I recently got back into reading for fun. All…read morethe long and treacherous years of schooling ruined reading for me. Information regarding pricing or what was in stock was impossible to find so I had to go and check it out first hand. I was greeted upon immediately walking in. This place is way bigger than I thought it would be. I started browsing the book shelves that were in front and worked my way back towards the store. I only looked through the fiction section but noticed a huge selection of other genres like Sci Fi and Adult Romance. There was also a children's section in the back. Walking towards the front of the store, there were shelves with DVDs as well. In the middle of the store, there's a little lounge section with comfortable chairs and tables to read at. I was carrying several books so I decided to grab a shopping basket. They have the cool ones that have wheels and suitcase like handles. I finally made my way to the register and chatted with the employee. She asked if I found everything i was looking for, to which I did not. She offered to look up titles I wanted and even though they did not have any in the store, she offered to put my information in the system if those books do show up. I purchased 6 books and paid almost $20. Not horrible but I thought for sure it would be cheaper. They have a buy back program, where you receive store credits but I forgot to inquire about the details. Of course I will be back!

FINALLY had a Saturday off, and I'm so sad I wasn't able to make it out here before now. I also brought a bag of books to sell. The processing for the books I brought took about 30 minutes (it was an IKEA bag FULL, I just needed to transfer to one of their bins). That gave me time to look around and see what they might have. Not all of my books were accepted, which was fine, because the reason this place is so big and yet does such good business is that the books are well currated to ensure that they are desirable. Older books, or less desirable are kept down to one copy, whereas more popular books may have three or four of the same book, but the book is popular enough that it will be sold. Value wise, the rare, signed, and first editions area is VERY reasonably priced. Value for books brought in is given as either cash (I was given a lesser amount this way) or store credit I walked out with a few of the sequels of book series I have the first and maybe second of, but this way I could complete the series for less. I also found a few books on my TBR that were available. Books are indeed at used book prices, not hugely marked up, so overall I considered the visit a huge win. Overall, I guess my complaint is only that this is the only location, and I wish there was a sister store more toward central or even the west side of Orlando.

When I moved from Chicago to Florida, I sold off everything I owned and came south with just what I…read morecould fit in my car. That means I had to part with my 500+ book collection. A lot of the books I had have been out of print for 40 years, and I despaired of ever being able to replace them. I came across Donald H's review here on Yelp and was pleased to discover ZbookZ was only 5 minutes away. From the street the bookstore looks tiny (maybe 600 sq ft), but when I entered I discovered that there were several rooms stuffed to the rafters with used books! Had to be at least 2000 square feet! Jimmy greeted me like an old friend even though this was my first visit. He knows his stock, which is amazing because there had to be at least 20,000 books in the store. He took me directly to the books by the Author I was most anxious to replace (Donald Hamilton, who wrote westerns and spy novels from 1947 to 1989). He had 14 titles all in good to excellent condition and a 15th title missing the back cover and part of the front cover. Best of all, Jimmy was wiling to negotiate on the price, since some of these books were so old that the cover price was less than a dollar.

She Scares me on how she acts in front of my Kids like this - any time that we have been there. Last time, she would not stop yelling at my family "that SHE could SHOUT ALL she WANTED to". I politely asked her to Stop, but she continued Yelling across the store repeatedly over and over - until we just gave up and left. She even went outside and was Shouting across the parking lot. Will not take my kids there ever again. This was absolutely ridiculous. I did Not appreciate explaining a Violent and Disrespectful Adult acting this Unrespectable to or in front of my kids. Would you take your kids to experience this ? Prices are expensive - and credit isnt much for donating books anyway ... Guess they don't care about - nor want their customers. *** Lost us as customers. Bye ! ps: My wife doesn't seem to like taking the kids here either. Don't think that she has the patience to deal with people like this (the staff's weird behavior and Pushiness with people).
