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
paperback.  Lighter, thinner, cheaper.  They'll out
last me ...

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 ...
