No special packaging, no problems at all.
Just don't use big boxes for books etc, they get heavy enough as it is!!!

I'm a bit worried about that too, for when I ship my little library!
I know packers just pack them as normal, but when my parents moved (ok, only to Jersey, but still) they chucked in a load of those little silica packets to suck up any dampness.
Larissa (?) posted something about this ages ago - I'll see if I can find it.

Our 2000 books were packed in cardboard boxes in the container - all arrived in perfect condition.

Same as Lesley, all my books arrived in perfect condition; they didn't even smell damp.
