Last night I dreamt I lost both my cat and my shoes in the pile of boxes we keep in our backroom, which suggests the degree to which these boxes preoccupy me.

Did you know every book purchased from Patrick’s Rare Books is shipped in a box? That’s a FREE box with every purchase! Who could resist that deal?
YES
YES https://t.co/G2AFHSNYtK
If you're cold, they're cold 😔
There WILL come a day when we need to post a small but very square book, and when that day comes I'll be ready

A good weekend’s work - our largest ever #rarebooks order (by volume) packed and ready to go! @BoxesIHaveKnown
As we enter the holiday season, REMEMBER: a box is for life, not just for Christmas!

Isn't it a joy when you discover twitter accounts you didn't know about, and can't imagine how you lived without them? This happened with @BoxesIHaveKnown and now @frome_maude.

10/10 perfectly encapsulating the mood of a bookseller (4.30am, Tom?? Oh no)

We've crossed into a brave new world and bought a pack of BRAND NEW boxes, for times when the perfect reusable box just isn't forthcoming from our mountain in the backroom
My flatmate: look at this little box! It's a shame to throw it away* :( Me, arms already outstretched, fingers grabbing, a fevered look in my eyes: oooh give it to me!! A perfect fit, 10/10 *(into the recycling)
Someone could honestly write a horror story about the way those little pieces cling to you for all eternity. 0/10
