5.0 out of 5 stars moving doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg........., January 8, 2004

It was great to come across moving advice just at the right time in my life. I'm a single gal packing it up to try something new. After reading 29 Days to a Smooth Move and realizing I wouldn't have to sacrifice any limbs as collateral to pay for moving expenses, my plans were set in motion. I followed the book's recommendations and saved a considerable amount of money on my move.
And the chapters on saying goodbye- priceless. The suggestions made me think about how i was going to go through with it. The helpful hints made the transition a whole lot easier than i thought it would be. So, if you're planning a move, local or long distance, but might be anxious about all that goes along with the idea, this is a must read!

I would have had no idea what I could and could not pack in a moving van if it wasn't for this book! The worst part of moving is cleaning and sorting, and the tips in 29 Days made the process easy and helped keep me on track. I never would have expected it, but this book had me in stitches the whole time, which made moving much more enjoyable. If I ever move again, the first thing I'll do is get out my copy of this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars No other moving workbook out there!, May 28, 2004

I think that this book is unique in getting someone more organized for a move, how to pack, how to prepare budget for move, etc. It is in workbook style, thus has many checklists and charts to fill in. The only part that you would have to do more research on own is to know which moving company to choose, and to decide between professional mover vs. finding company that allows you to pack but they will drive the stuff for you vs. doing it completely on own and renting truck yourself. Most of the info that they provide may be found on websites but nicely organized and fun to read in ring-bound version. Also would have been helpful if had chapter dividers.
