OT: Boxwood Rare Books & Prints still operating?

Has anyone recently heard from UK-based Peter Nicholls of Boxwood Rare Books & Prints? I last exchanged emails with him in September, then tried him about three weeks ago regarding several books. There has uncharacteristically been no response after several tries, and it seems the shop website is no longer accessible. I hope that all is well.

>1 Sport1963: I just tried the website, which I was only looking for books on about a week or so back, and it is coming up as needing a password to access it. Additionally, ABE has their listings as 'temporarily unavailable'. It all seems rather odd...

Have you tried phoning them?

>2 ChestnutPress: Yes. Phoned, rolled to voicemail, left a message, but no return call. Peter has always been quite responsive via phone and email. The web site message you get is the same one I encountered. Let's hope it is just technical difficulties.

>3 Sport1963: Very concerning that no calls got answered. The other things could be down to huge technical problems, but not that.

>1 Sport1963: I believe that Peter is very unwell, and that books from their stock are currently being offered at auction.
