Hi,
No time like the present. A scanner isn't too much and Book Collector is worth it in many ways beyond just keeping a lit. When packing or unpacking, you need to handle all the books anyway, so scanning adds little effort to the task.
Looks like good packing techniques. I knew my books were going into storage, so I pretty much used your original technique to prevent as much damage as possible when they were stacked.

(Meaning they could be stacked up to 6 high without damage to the books.) I'm now able to give each box its own shelf and I'm using a different approach.
The first layer has the books edge on, then an evening out layer, and topped by whatever will fit to fill up the box.
See attached if you like.
