Pre-newbie question - tabular format

I am thinking of using 1.3.8 for a project. I only need a very simple book order system and I would prefer the front end to basically be just a single shopping cart page in tabular format that has book name, qty, price, total per row. I'd rather have all books listed perhaps with a category breakdown row separator but everything in line.

Is zencart capable of doing this easily or is it going to create only the category view or add one item at a time back and forth to the cart presentation? There aren't very many books and there's no need to bounce back and forth or do a sales pitch in category format. I just want to list the books and let people select the qty on a row if they want to add that boo to the order.

Thanks very much for your feedback.

Do not use 1.3.8 as the latest is 1.3.9e

All items entered in one category have a list view and a more detailed product view
Items can be set to be added to the cart in the list view
