Having seen this absolutely beautiful bookcase for myself, I can see
what you mean.

 It is also useful to know what you've got in  which box, because, you
may find, as I have done, that things go  missing and you have to
replace them.
I think you mentioned this at the barbecue. I have to say that your
story was partly my inspiration.

My brother is helping me pack. Poor thing - you should have seen the
look I gave him when he put my old and much beloved copy of Ballet Shoes
in a box.

I think I'm lucky because my Dad runs the family office removal firm -
so I get all the packing materials, which are brilliant now. And my
brother is an experienced remover too. He's been fantastic.
