Packaging #1 Whoopee!
My latest post office box surprise.
...and so big...

I wonder what it is...

Packaging #2 Ok-a-a-a-ay
A great big chunk of bubblewrap.
What next?
Packaging #3 Hmmmmm.
A little brick of folded cardboard...
Packaging #4 And now a folded bit of tissue...
Packaging #5 Finally!
My "new" Godless florin peeks out.
Packaging #6 Here she is.
A 28mm coin in a 450x310mm envelope.
Well, I thought it was pretty funky!

Godless florin
Here is the subject of all the above packaging.

another example  

I just got my Krause catalog in the mail.

Check out the gunny sack it was sent in!

Yes - yes - yes... I know the USPS has standard sized bags for overseas post, but I still think a 670x900mm gunny sack is still overkill for a 210x275mm book.

Not complaining, mind. Just observing.
