[DTB-Talk] A little bit embarrassed, and don't know what to do.

Yes, just contact them and ask them to send you a mailer.  I don't 
think they will penalize you -- they will just be happy to get the book back.

I have a book, I just realized, that has been sitting here for over 
10 years.  I even discussed with our state librarian, and she 
said,  "just send it back."
