Books make great stocking stuffers...

Books also make excellent gifts for college students.

Books are the perfect item to send to a deployed family member or friend.

They are even the ideal item to get for the person who "has everything" or is "hard to buy for".

I even have a couple of recommendations:

28 Days in the Coke Works

and

97 Evergreen West, both by J. G. Weddle.(That would be me)

More info and the ability to purchase them is at this link:

If you were to buy numerous copies of each book, think how many people you could satisfy on your holiday shopping list. It's just a thought.

Thanks, JGW

We love books in our house, and there will be many under the Christmas tree. They will all be used though.

An excellent thought, and some excellent recommendations.

Books are cheap to mail (within the U.S.) by Media Mail. I send books out to my far-flung family members every Christmas, and birthdays sometimes also. Thanks for posting to Book Rescuers!

It's true that books usually make great gifts. I want to get books for a few people this year. I need all the gather points I can get so I can use them for amazon and borders gift cards.
