A Gift That Will Keep on Giving -- Books

Can you believe we are only a week, give or take, from which ever seasonal holiday we celebrate? Be it Yule, Chanukah, Kwanza, Christmas or other celebration, it's just a couple of weeks away. This year for many of us, finding the right gift and not breaking our personal bank is perhaps more difficult than ever before. A book may just be one of the best choices.

A print book is something that will last for years -- Gina has her father's complete collection of world's greatest literature (through the early 1900's) . The collection dates from 1920 and for 90 year old books, most of them are in pretty good shape. There are a number that have been read over and over again by family and herself, but they have withstood time pretty well. A print book, one that you can write a special dedication in, is a gift the recipient can treasure for years to come.

Ebooks are outstanding for our mobile society. On the go, an ereader, Palm, iPOD, Kindle or whatever you use guarantees reading material right at hand where ever you are. Many manufacturers are having sales this year of various readers, several publishers and authors are running contests to win a free one. They are a gift that will last a long long time. Ebooks are easy to store--your computer, memory stick, reader, disc--and can be enjoyed over and over again. A number of publishers are having deep discount sales this season with as much as 30-50% off ebooks. Most have gift certificates so your recipient can choose his or her own.

Books are a gift that can give for year after year. They may be the answer to at least a part of your holiday shopping dilemma.
