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 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.

How big a move is it Whovian? I'm currently going for leaving mine with my parents when I emigrate, the cost...
