==Where to buy books==<strike>[http://www.bookpool.com Bookpool.com] is an excellent choice for technical books. They have consistently proven to offer good service, the lowest prices, and an excellent website over the past several years.</strike> Bookpool.com is defunct [[User:Freephile|greg.rundlett]] ([[User talk:Freephile|talk]]) 02:37, 28 May 2014 (UTC) Odd to see how I was on the web before Amazon.com, and how "mainstay" features of the technical community like bookpool.com have come and gone. Today it says the site is "relaunching soon".
