When I began moving three years ago, the first load
out was 144 bank boxes of books. Three months later,
I was still moving more of them. Almost ALL

You're apparently rougher on the damn things than I
am. Many of my SF pbks, however, have multiple
creases along their spines, as my grandpa used to fold
'em all the way over. But STILL all in one piece ...
