Product Description
If you are one of the forty million Americans who will move this year, you know the task can seem overwhelming. Now, there's help. How to Survive A Move by Hundreds of Happy People Who Did (and some things to avoid, from a few who haven’t unpacked yet), offers hundreds of helpful and entertaining stories on moving from the real "pros"—everyday people who have moved and survived to tell their stories.

"Moving is one of the most challenging things you can do: Take your daily life and everything that’s familiar, throw it all in the blender known as a moving truck, and see what comes out when you get to the other side. Yet it’s precisely what 1 in every 7 Americans do every year," write the book’s editors, Jamie Allen and Kazz Regelman. "We wanted to create a book that offered the best tips on everything from moving your pets to making friends with your new neighbors."

How to Survive A Move offers a truckload of valuable relocating advice, including:

• Packing Up—it actually starts with "trashing"
• Professional Movers vs. Inexpensive Friends
• Baby on Board—Advice for Parents
• Saying Goodbye to Family and Friends
• Pets—how to move a fish and calm a cat
• Settling in—getting unpacked and making your new place "home"
• Worst Moves Ever (what to avoid!)

Just in time for the busy summer moving months—when families with school-aged children are most likely to pick up stakes—How to Survive A Move offers quick tips for harried movers.

Unlike other moving books that give the opinion of one or two experts, How to Survive A Move includes words of wisdom from hundreds of people— both singles and families, nationwide—who have "been there, done that" (many of them have moved over a dozen times!). Millions of people have survived moving, and so can you!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best moving-related book I've ever read!, April 26, 2005
By Shannon Hurd (Highlands Ranch, Colorado) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is seriously an EXCELLENT book! I love the concept of soliciting stories/advice from people all across the nation because it practically guarantees you will find something (or, in my case, a LOT of somethings!) within these pages that you can relate to. The stories are funny, insightful and best of all, easy to read. Even if you're not moving, I'd recommend buying this book and reading it for future reference. Of course, if you know someone who is moving, this book would make an excellent gift!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good tips in little time!, April 4, 2005
When you're moving, you don't have tons of time to dedicate to reading a new book! For this reason, HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR MOVE is perfect. It's filled with nuggets of wisdom and helpful tips to help you prepare for this daunting and exciting step. You can flip through the book and choose the chapter that is most relevant to you NOW (for me, "What To Do Before You Move In"). I'm moving next month, and need all the support and advice I can get!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hundreds of Tips on Moving That Just Might Work, August 8, 2006
By Richard R. Blake (Bridgman, Michigan) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Did you know, an estimated 42 million American's move each year? Jamie Allen and Kazz Regelman have done an amazing job of cataloging and categorizing hundreds of ideas from hundreds of people, some who have moved as many as thirty times.

From moving kids to moving cats and gold fish, it's all included in this incredible olio of tips and suggestions topically organized for easy reference.

There are tips like, "Put all boxes into one room so you don't have to run around the house like a madman on the big day." Understated information is provided by the U-Haul Company, "Moving is one of the most stressful times in a person's life."

Horror stories abound. "My bicycle was mangled, my mattress torn, glass shattered, and wood was coming off my table in shreds. I sued the movers, but only received $ 200 from which I had to pay the lawyers' fees."

Pros and cons of using friends to help you move and hiring professionals create some questions to consider and some solutions for you in making the decision easier. Suggestions for moving day, from packing the truck, and saying good bye to friends, to unpacking at the new site and settling into your spanking new home, meet with a divergence of opinions.

Hundred's of people have shared entertaining personal stories and suggestions from their moving experiences. Sometime these experts will share conflicting advice. It will be up to you to choose the method that will work best for you.

The publishers have subtlety provided you with the best tool you will need for your next move. That is a sense of humor so that in the madness of moving day you can enjoy the camaraderie of family and friends and revel in the knowledge that there are hundreds of other movers out there to share your misery.
