RE: Comic Fans, Need Your Input! My Journey to Opening a Store
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
short boxes, for all the reasons you mentioned as well as less damage..meaning shorter boxes are easier to sift through so people are less likely to bend book spines while rooting through them, and also...accidents do happen, would you rather have a long box ( 500 or so books) hit the ground spilling books out or a short box (250 or so books)? * I might be off on the numbers of books in such boxes, but you get my meaning.

Thank you for your input! The books are all bagged and boarded, but I think you are correct even still about damage. People tend to lift up a book about 2/3rds of the way and then put it back down a lot when they are further back in a long box. They can't see down into the box in the back so need to pull it up to see the cover better.
Hopefully with the design spilling a whole box won't happen...but on the shelf I guess it totally is possible. The top would be nearly impossible as I'll have slat wall up to the height of the box on each end of the bank of cabinets to allow me added display space and lock in the boxes.
