Doing a geo lookup on the IP address is a nice convenience, but it seems like there should be a way to override it and allow the user to specify which geography they want lendable books for. There are, for example, lots of people who live in New Hampshire, but commute to Massachusetts for work. They might want to do lookups at home for books that they want to borrow when in Boston. Tom
