How to inexpensively move a lot of books?
Mar 23, 2007 by Super Booty Girl | Posted in Packing & Preparation
We are bothersome to move the entire library of a very poor organization across several states to the new librarian.
Even using the cheap book postal rate it's growing to be more expensive than we can manage.
We also thought of making a caravan of organization members to bring it to us, one section of the country at a period. But that would take a lot of doing, finding all the right members and convincing them to do all that driving. That's kind of the plan that we have currently settled on honest now unless you can think of something better.
It's going to consist of about 2,000 magazines, maybe 3,000 books (even though some of the books may not be much thicker than magazines) and a few videos and some pamphlets.
Any ideas at all?
TYVM
Have you solicitude recollections of asking your patrons? Never hurts to ask! Also, ask the post office if they would be willing to give a discount for an organization like yours. Also, they might be able to give a brush off since you are shipping a lot of books like that to one destination. My policy is it never hurts to ask, and the worst they can do is say no. =) Good luck!!

U-Transport, Ryder, like that. I'll bet you can get all of it in a single truck.

Benefits of watching a lot of movies and reading a lot of books?
Apr 06, 2009 by Blitz | Posted in Other - Family & Relationships
Do you find that people who examine a lot of movies and/or read a lot of books more interesting? The things they learn from movies and books they can apply to real life situations.
Depends on how they use what they've presume from and seen. Can make them useful partners in Trivia games...can also cause them to be less desirable conversation partners when talking about unfeigned life experiences and situations.

How do I build shelves that can mount to the wall and hold a lot of books?
Feb 18, 2008 by E | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
I was ratiocinative just support the shelves with 45 degree supports, but I don't know if it would be enough. I have a lot of heavy books.
what is spur??
Safest is to use 'Spur 'shelving. The 45 inchmeal thing is OK but tends to interfere with the books on the shelf below. The spur system is great for heavy loads - we have masses of archive filing stacked in coupled rows and nothing's fallen down yet. (touch wood). You fit the uprights to the wall, (ideally masonry) put in the brackets and then span across with whatever shelving you destitution to use. Space them at about 18inch centres - or closer for very heavy books, or wherever your wall studs are if not into brickwork. It also has the big advantage of being ajustable so that you can house smaller books efficiently

5 good reasons why you should buy a lot of books?
May 22, 2401 by skycat | Posted in Books & Authors
I always buy books for 2 reasons
1) i angel readings :) my hobby actually
2) also to get tax deduction
by buying a lot of books, you save money! It sounds counter intuitive but is it true for you.
(a) You can go into a in all respects of something else, fantasy, love, other people's lives.
(b) It is escapism from your own life.
(c) It is something you can do by yourself.
(d) It is informative and educational.
(e) I love reading anyway.
I buy mine from Benevolence shops also use the library. I used to buy from a Book Club. I do not keep them I pass them on to other people in the family, which I know does not sire business for Book Companies. I keep only special ones like my shorthand dictionary, Collins Thesaurus and gardening books, that kidney of thing. Reference I suppose.
If you buy your books at cost price you would save money. Some people have large libraries and would not let a register go from it. So they help the book industry. I don't think they would get rich from me.

What's the best way to get rid of a lot of books?
Feb 23, 2007 by not2blonde | Posted in Other - Home & Garden
I have boxes of books that I have saved for the day when I could move into a abode with lots of room for them, but here I am still living in a small apartment and hardly able to move for all these boxes. The boxes are heavy! I don't necessity to just give them away, because now we are in the tech age and probably they will become valuable (one day everything will be on disks, I suspect). But since I don't know when I'll get that house, should I give away a quiescent fortune anyway?
Collectors look for first editions in dapper condition. Go through your collection, you can sell them to a second hand book store for very little money, call your local library for accomplishable donation, the Good Will may be another option. Invest in a solid retirement fund. I doubt you have a potential fortune. You could have your books appraised, but you might be let down. Relieving yourself of clutter will free the energy flow in your space and be freeing you of an unnecessary burden. Start this year inexperienced and may you be blessed with friends and family that are more precious than old books.
