RIP Bookpool · Apr 9, 11:58 PM
Tonight I tried to visit my favorite tech book site bookpool and saw it was gone. After some googling it indeed appears to have gone belly upa few weeks ago.
I’ve used them since they were a gopher site. They were the first people that I did a commercial transaction with on the internet.
I remember in the early days to sign up with them you had to FAX them a copy of your driver’s license and credit card. I faxed them the info and about 30 seconds later after I walked back to my office I was able to purchase my book. I was impressed at the speed they got me set up.
/Me lifts a toast to Bookpool. You will be missed.
