Maybe I was expecting something different, but the recommendations in this book seemed to be basic and the lists overly complicated. It should be retiled `Moving for Dummies.’
Also, this book is really not for renters or low budget movers. Most of the information is relevant only to people who own their own home and are relocating at somebody else’s expense. -

I used this book when planning my move and found it to be very helpful. I was movig across country and had lots of valuable items that needed to be kept track of and properlu insurec. After a previously bad moving experience I wanted to make sure that i got everything right this time around. This book was a huge help, I especially liked all of the lists and organizational aids that were included in it. -

This book is very thorough, though geared towards those who are selling/buying property more so than renters. Also, there’s a lot of info about moving kids (which I skipped because I’m childless by choice). But I found the author to be soothing, it’s clear she’s been through this many times. She’s super-fastidious but that’s an asset for someone who’s stressed about an upcoming move. -

I’m planning a move across the country due to a corporate relocation, and was looking for a resource to help me plan and execute the move with minimal problems. This book did the trick for me.
It’s organized into chapters dealing with emotional issues, preparing for the move, selling and buying a house, packing, and starting a new life at you new location.
The author also gives you blank calendars to keep track of dates, a moving timeline, and tons of worksheets that made a list maker like myself very happy, along with blank pages for taking notes. The moving checklists cover everything from changing addresses to moving medical records. The worksheets help you to keep track of moving expenses and phone numbers or contact info from cellular, utility, and insurance companies, schools, doctors, and other service providers.
The book only touches upon the emotional issues, so if you are moving with kids (as I was) I would recommend buying a separate book if you’re looking for more information on that issue. - Comment Feed for this Post

The best thing I can say about this book is that it *thoroughly* helps you get organised for your move- and that is saying a lot!
One of the hardest things about moving is the upheaval and disorganisation it causes. This book will help you, step by step, by identifying potential pitfalls for you to avoid and by providing you with checklists to help you avoid forgetting anything during the tumult of moving.
I really can’t say enough about the checklists. I’ve moved twice since purchasing this book and these lists have been a lifesaver! The author is so very thorough that I felt calm and at ease knowing that as long as each line had a tick in the box, I was going to be ok- and I was!
If you’re thinking about buying a book to help with your move you may as well put this one in your cart and head to the check out. I would recommend it over several others as the only book you need. (Of course, I might supplement it with a city guide if you happen to be relocating all the way to a new city as opposed to across town.)
