Making a List and Checking it Twice, Or, Gift Ideas for the Bookish
Are you seeking a gift for a bookish type, either an avid reader or a book collector? Can't afford that first edition Gatsby in dustjacket but still want to give a gift that will appeal to the bibliophile? If so, welcome to my second annual list of Gift Ideas for the Bookish. To repeat the reasons for such a list from last year:
The holidays are fast approaching, and perhaps you are wondering what gift is appropriate for the bibliophile in your life. Although my enthusiasm for books is known far and wide, my family is always somewhat reticent to buy me books. They worry when they select a book for me that it's a book I already have or it's book I won't like. I'm assuming I am not the only bookish type to encounter such a situation. This year I'm suggesting a few bookish gifts for bibliophiles that do not force the buyer to second-guess a bibliophile friend or relative's particular literary taste.
