how many books in a box?

by Jeremy Gavins

I got told that my books will be delivered in boxes. I will be charged on the number of boxes but I can't find out how many boxes I will need. I suppose that it may depend on the size of book, mine is a 220 page B-format. For 500 hundred books, how many boxes?

I have googled this but got nowhere.

Whenever I've bought books they've been delivered in very similar size boxes, though I suppose it may depend on the printer or distributor. Mine are basically 390 long x 270/280 wide x 290 high. Whether that's any use or not I don't know, but it might give you a rough idea of items per box if you've got a spine dimension as well as the format size.
