    Anyone who asks you to unload a container, should consider asking them to put a mortein pesticide bomb in it a few days before so you're not taking pests that can start an infestation back at your shed. Should quarantine this haul before it goes near your other stock.

    Get some cedar chips and put them in with the books for a while. That will cut out some of the smell. It works on books from a smoker's house. Huge haul! Wish it was in better condition for your sake.

    Tom, and your handsome son, did a great job! Wear gloves while going through these boxes. Do you have a place to wash your hands? Can't wait to hear and see more about these! Something in this haul should make it all worth it! From the moment I saw your warehouse, I commented on it being too small. Always get a space that's larger than you think you'll need. You attract book hauls. Undeniably true, so you don't want to be turning down 5,000 books due to lack of space. I'm also concerned about the lack of heat/air conditioning. Again, Tom is your information source.

    • @backfromburnout

    Glad you had Tom and your son to help. Stuff that scorpion and rodent dont need that. Hope you got pots of great books. Some sounded rather random ones in another language.

    Mel, you are all in on the book game. Wow. This is great content though. I would have arrived with my own clean empty boxes and cherry-picked the stuff that looked eBay-worthy. Everything else would go in the trash trailer.
    You owe Tom another beer.

      I should have done that yes. Next time I find a haul like this I will do that. I’ll be getting these empty as fast as possible to clear all those boxes fast
