Best way to move magazines, textbooks, notebooks?
big boxes will be too heavy. Any ideas?
this is exciting but overwhelming!

I am the queen of bags- I have several tote bags and backpacks, and I used those to pack magazines and work files.

if you have a suitcase that has wheels on it, you can pack them in there and then just pull it... its also less likely to break like a card board box would

Ditto. It is annoying, but much better. I was watching Today show the other day or a show like it and they had moving tips. They said that for books, you want several smaller boxes because once you go to move a big box full of books, you won't go any further. You can't pick the box up. I personally bought several, like 8, 10 gallon rubbermaid-ish boxes for books.

We are using the smaller liquor store boxes for books, you can't fit that many in them so they don't get too heavy.

Re: Best way to move magazines, textbooks, notebooks?
definitely use small boxes! the 1st time we moved DH packed a GIANT box full of books.  Too bad he was the one who had to carry it!  Now he knows better!
