"...presented in tidbits that are easy to digest when you're more concerned with packing boxes than spending hours reading a book."

"The editors of How to Survive A Move went to the experts: average people who've been there and done that. Much of the advice is the kind you're unlikely to get from the experts - such as living east of where you work so you won't be driving into the sun, using T-shirts to pad breakable items, and making sure to pack, ahem, adult paraphernalia in a really, really well-sealed box."

Much of the advice is the kind you're unlikely to get from the experts -- suggestions such as living east of where you work so you won't be driving into the sun, using your T-shirts to pad breakable items and making sure to pack, ahem, adult paraphernalia in a really, really well-sealed box."
