Oh do it, depending on when you have (we had little to nothing) its pretty darn cheap and can really save your butt. it saved us once

To-Do:

• Pack
  USPS address forwarding form
  Change address with bank/credit card
  Eat as much food I already have as possible to avoid having to move it
  Finish taxes
  Go through clothes I haven't worn while here to get rid of
  Book moving vehicle (as in, obtain a vehicle for moving, not get a moving vehicle just for my books)
  Clean

I have about two weeks for some of this but man, it makes me tired just thinking about it all.

That's why I haaaaaate moving!

a moving vehicle just for my books

Now see, I may actually need one of those. I am somewhat surprised you don't.

Sadly, the majority of my collection is still in AZ, slowly making its way to me.

Question about that. Do you use media mail to ship your books? Because it free up a pretty bit of space in my car when I go back to Alaska this summer if I could mail my books and DVDs for cheap....

I used media mail to send my books from OR to TN when we moved. it worked really well and was pretty cheap compared to regular mail.

Yep; Media Mail took the would-be price from ~$30 to ~$12 for a 24lb or so box.
