hear hear.

I've also been buying from bookpool, and they have the best prices I could
find.

Here is a tiny bit of information that might help people buying books for
their workplace:

In the bookpool account page, There are two separate entries for personal
information: Shipping Address and Credit Card Billing Address.

When I wanted to order books for work, I wanted to use my credit card, but get
a receipt under the company's name, which was impossible with the scheme
above.

After I wrote bookpool, they modified my account, to have three separate
addresses: Shipping Address, Credit Card Billing Address, and a Billing
address. This way I had the books shipped to the work address, credit card
details were verified against my home address, and the enclosed bill has
contained the company's name (so I could pay with my card and easily get a
refund).
