From: The Bookpool <bookpool@panix.com>
If the book you desire is not in stock (* marks books in inventory),
please vote for it so that the Bookpool will know it is in demand. To vote
for a book, send e-mail containing a single line "vote BookCode" to
bookpool@panix.com. For example, to vote for the book "Unix Power Tools",
send the line "vote unix_power". The Bookpool will notify you when the book
comes into stock, in case you wish to purchase it. A list of the most voted
for books can be obtained by e-mailing "send topten" to the Bookpool.
You may request more detailed information (author, edition, isbn, etc) on
the books in a subject section by e-mailing "send SubjectCode" to the
Bookpool, where the SubjectCode is given in each section heading. You may
also request summaries/reviews of books, when available, by e-mailing
"send BookCode", where BookCode is the book identifier.
Thank you,
