Bookpool was in Martha's Vineyard, right? I'm surprised they closed. They don't seem to publish their address, at least not for people like me, so I was not able to visit them during a trip to Martha's Vineyard last Thanksgiving. I used to buy from them, they were always completely reliable and they did have pretty good prices. I've been worrying about Borders books too. Bob Cochran Steven F.
