There _may_ be a new TSA regulation reducing the number of books allowed in your carry-on luggage from 4 to 2. Does that mean journals as well? What about datebooks? (for the record, I carried two novels, a journal and my planner on my flight to Australia, and two novels, a play, some magazines, my journal and my planner on the flight back -- horrors!) No one knows, but that we're even having this conversation is grim, yeah?

Yeah, I, being the compulsive bibliophile that I am, keep buying books here that I can't get in the US and am trying to figure out how to get them back to the US. I've been told several times by various people after long phone calls to central offices that, no, shipping companies cannot send more than "maybe two or three" books from Spain to the US.

Exactly what the fuck do they think is in my books? It's classical literature, not trashy romance or badly-written novels, and definitely not subversive anti-american essays or recepies for explosives or anything.
