You want to build bricks as someone already stated. Stack your books inside a nice oversized bag and tape it shut. Then cut your cardboard to be at least 1 inch larger all around the books. Tape the books down to the cardboard so they wont move in shipment.

 

Repeat this process as needed and pack around the bricks with plastic grocery bags, peanuts, or whatever other packing materials you have.

 

Depending on how big your bricks are you can fit 4 or 5 in a box and ship it. Diamond boxes I would only estimate you can get in 2 or 3 bricks.

I guess I was doing it correctly for the most part, (I'm usually a nut with shipping), but how many books to people typically stack (25-50- or 100). The idea of front to back with alternating spines is great too).
