Wow, that was quick! Five hats in one go: I was really proud of myself and all my wife said was: "now you just need to get rid of the rest of them!". See what I'm up against? ;)

Boaters are basically heavily shellacked straws, so they should respond to steam. My advice would be to use steam to warm it up and then, like you suggested, put it on a flat surface and stack books on the brim.
