DAN BROWN BOOK SET
December 15, 2021

I have found at last a book site that does what it says.
Excellent service and good quality books, arrived earlier than expected well wrapped and good condition.
I have nothing but praise for the WOB, what it says on the package is what you get,
Truthful, honest and trustworthy. What more can I say, oh yes the books are in Excellent condition too.

Christmas delivery
December 15, 2021

I ordered two books on Saturday 11th December and had received the books in great condition by Tuesday 14th. At a time when the media is full of complaints about delays in deliveries I think this demonstrates an excellent service. Fantastic!

First time ordering from World of Books and I am very impressed. The book was better than described ie. Advertised as good condition, however I would personally rate it as excellent! It arrived nicely packaged and in a timely manner. I will definitely be making future purchases from WoB as my experience with them is very positive.

I always look on World of books first before buying a book form elsewhere. I love finding old books and really like the thought that someone else has had the same enjoyment from it as me.

The book arrived as expected, no delays. It's condition was as stated. About the book: I've read reviews complaining about units for measuring. At the end of a book is a wonderful and very detailed metric conversion chart. Furthermore, all the recipes have both F° and C° listed. I haven't tried anything yet but I will. Its a very complete book which I consider a must at this point.
