+100

And ever since they started incorporating user comments, I've pretty much 
stopped checking amazon for reviews before buying from bookpool ;-)

And bookpool, IIRC, will do nice things like accept your credit card, with 
your home address, and ship to your work address. Very convenient (and 
shipping to the work address is often slightly cheaper than shipping to the 
house).

Marc, who only buys fiction at Amazon any more ...
