For book lovers, packing up to move to a new home can be especially challenging, since books are among the heaviest household items for their size. And true book lovers may have hundreds, if not thousands, of books to move. Where possible, try to pare down your book collection by getting rid of any books that you don't use or don't need, hard though this may be. But remember that moving companies generally charge by the weight of the freight they are shipping, so there is a good reason to jettison any books you can live without.
When it comes to moving books, it makes sense to follow the procedures perfected by libraries, many of which pack and ship hundreds of books across the country each week.
