Here in the US too [0]. There's a lot of specialized boxes available for packing and moving many people don't bother with either because of price or they don't know about it.

Which brings me to the PSA: Your books go in book boxes (1 foot cubes).

Do not put your books in small boxes. Do not put your books in medium boxes. For the love of god, do not put your books in large boxes.

Yes, if you have a lot of books you'll end up with 50 or 100 book boxes. No, that's a good thing.

When I started I managed to fill a large box up with books.

Experienced Mover (eyeing large box): What have you put in there?

Newbie Me: Books

Experienced Mover: You can fucking carry that one then.

Heh, yeah just moved ~2 years ago and some of the heaviest boxes were from our book cases even using the small boxes.

edit: small here meaning 1.5 ft^3.

I stopped to buy paper books ~10 years ago, and it was great decision.

I also know them. A mover told me that he once had a client who filled them with books!

I was anxious to know what kind of subgenre of anime (cartoons) I was going to see!
