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.
