Hey everyone. I know this was asked before but I forgot to write it down and I can't find the page now.
I'm moving but I need to take all of my books off my big Kallax shelves and box them up. What's the best way to do it without damaging the books and dust jackets?

I just got a mahosive roll of bubble wrap, wrapped about 5 up at a time, real tight with plenty of tape and moved them like that
I usually use boxes from my office that the reams of copy paper come in. They're big enough to hold 8-19 omni's, but small enough so as not to break your back when lifting.
My last move was across the street, so I did everything myself and didn't really need to take any extra care. Previously, I stuffed bubble wrap between the books and the inside wall of the boxes; they arrived off the moving truck damage free.

Did you guys take the dust jackets off?

Nah, left them on

Same.
I figured the jackets are more likely to get damaged if I try to transport them off of the books.
