But the problem isn't too much Dan Brown - it's too little everything else. I'm not sure the postage differential would lead to a trade imbalance by itself. If it's cheaper for US customers to ship books than for Canadians, so what? We're going to ship too many books? I think the problem is that US members have an incentive to order *from* non-US members (we want books), but not to ship *to* them (we can ship more cheaply within the US, via PBS - unless what we have is some piece of crap that we can't unload domestically). US members are taking out more and better quality books than we put in. We should be banned!
