   Been there, done that. Well, OK, I didn't bring a truck, but   
   the Customs guy at Logan Airport was *very* impressed with how   
   many books I was able to fit into my suitcase. :-)   
      
   In fact, just this weekend, on my wife's and my latest trip to   
   the Old #6 Book Depot, she found a book about Hay-on-Wye. I'll   
   have to find out where she put it.
