I have seen a lot of articles lately offering advice as to what to give the booklover in your family or social circle.

Let toss in my own two cents. A suggestion that seems to be strangely lacking in many of these lists.

You see, as a booklover myself, I am not very interested in retro-fashionable reading glasses, literary themed bookends, neckties with pictures of books on them, or things that look like books but – and this is so wacky! – aren’t actually books.

What I would like for Christmas is a book.
