Good tips, and not to say it's not a good idea, but if you buy
the books
from an independent mystery book store (and I won't list any
here for
space conservation, if you want a list e-mail me privately),
you simply
tell them you want them sent and they do that wrapping for
you
HOWEVER
I schlep for the simple reason that US delivery is not very
good nor
dependable. It may never reach you and ifyou have 1st editions,
you may
prefer to schlep. We always carry an empty suitcase to
Bouchercon; I
wouldn't trust my 1st edition Ian Rankin's Hanging Garden to
any service
but my own hands
