I strongly recommend getting boxes that are exactly the same size. It makes
everything easier, they stack perfectly and they are recognizable. Nothing worse
than having a collection of disparate-sized boxes with all sorts of brand names
on it. In a few months, you won't know what's where. I use boxes that are used
for files, those ones with lids and handles. Easier to carry and stack, etc.
It's a small expense compared to the aggravation caused by a mess. And if you
unpack the books, you can reuse the boxes easily.
