Massachusetts Based Bookpool.com is Gone?

It looks like online technical book retailer bookpool.com may be out of business. Their web site disappeared without warning around the beginning of April.

See: Bookpool RIP? at Marc’s Musings

I was a long time and loyal customer. They had great prices and since they were ‘local’ I could opt for the cheapest shipping and still get timely delivery. A great resource for software professionals, Bookpool will be missed.
