Packing Books
TIP: If you've collected lots of books over time, it's a great time to reevaluate what you really want to keep. Consider selling some at a yard sale or to a secondhand bookstore. If you're using a moving company, more weight in your truck adds to the final price; if you're moving yourself, more weight puts a physical strain on you.
Moving Tips When Packing Books
To pack books, you'll need: packing tape and small boxes
Never pack more than 30 pounds of books in a box, unless you're
a weight lifter by trade.
Fill in small spaces in each box with smaller paperbacks.
Alternate bindings every few books to keep stacks level in each
box. Packing tape shut and mark "Books." You're done!
