Format:Paperback
Complete waste of money.Very misleading title. Includes topics such as 'Top 10 new places to explore' which is not top of priority list when moving house!! Describes moving individual items in too much detail, such as ping pong tables - how many people do you know who have one??. Huge chunk on finding and buying house, which I assume most people have already done before buying this book. Any useful advice given is blindingly obvious anyway e.g how to clean cupboards etc and to take care with fragile items!Too much advice on irrelevant subjects e.g getting qoute for car insurance.

If you're an organizational nut and love lists this book is for you!
12 April 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

Helpful and thorough

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.

Format:Paperback
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.
