Books -- those that you can touch, feel, smell, display on your bookshelves, tuck-in with you at bedtime, savour forever with pleasure (booklovers, you know what I mean) -- are some of the most precious gifts you can receive AND give at Christmas.
Books don't have to be always brand new and in mint condition in order to be enjoyed. An old book that caters to the interests/hobbies/wishes of the receiver will indeed prove valuable, both for the receiver and the giver, and will be treasured as a symbol of goodwill between them.
And so, booklovers, why not give another booklover a Christmas gift that will last (in this age of digital technology) for a few more centuries, and will be passed on to more generations of booklovers?
