   I now have it in my hands:   
      
   SIXPENCE HOUSE: LOST IN A TOWN OF BOOKS by Paul Collins   
   NY & London: Bloomsbury, 2003   
      
   From the dustjacket flap blurb:   
      
   "Paul Collins and his family abandoned the hills of San   
   Francisco to move to the Welsh countryside -- to move,   
   in fact, to the little cobblestone village of Hay-on-Wye,   
   the 'Town of Books,' boasting 1,500 inhabitants...and   
   forty bookstores. Antiquarian bookstores, no less..."
