Paper weight


I am making an academic trip, so I need to have books on hand.  Most things, I put on computer or Kindle, but I can't do that with the TOEFL and GRE prep books, nor the set of Narnia books I'm bringing for the daughter of a colleague, nor the dozen ETSU planners I'm taking along as gifts.  Paper drives suitcase weight up in a hurry, and the airlines charge extra for baggage these days even when it's not overweight.  We're trying to spread the books, brochures and business cards out over several suitcases and carry ons.  One more thing to consider as we pack.
