Almost fergot... I found out that a lot of you haven't heard of Bookpool
(http://www.bookpool.com).  For popular technical books, they are the
least expensive place I've ever found.  They don't advertise very much,
which is part of why they charge less than other places.  Also, they
only carry the stuff that is popular-- when I needed a book on date and
time programming ('cuz I got fed up with Java's mess with dates), I had
to go elsewhere.  They seem to drop in and out of the pricing sites
(e.g. http://addall.com); I'm guessing this is 'cause most of the
pricing sites charge if someone buys something as the result of a
search.

No personal interest in the company other than I'd like 'em to stay in
business and continue their saving me money on my technical book habit.
