How to pack a book, revisited...

It is nice to know that I am not the only one to rant about this topic. Hugh, of "Hugh's Blog" fame has recently posted at length (this is "Part 1") on the art of packing a book correctly (and the the really sad prevalence of sub-par packing quality among both dealers and "dealers").


I have rambled about this issue before...it is just not that hard to pack a book well. I am not really talking about the $5 reading copy of Jetter's, Noir...that can, I suppose, go in a padded envelop and no one should be surprised. However, when a $700 book is delivered in nothing but a padded envelop...well, it is not unreasonable to expect better (this happened to me).

Hugh's thoughts on this are well worth reading. More when he finishes...
