The Pleasure of Giving BooksI love the dog-eared bookmark I still have that says, "A book is a gift that you can open over and over again." It's true. Why does a book make such a good gift? I think because it's a gift that can hold so much of the giver. When someone gives me a book, I can see what they have been thinking. The book is a connection to who we both are. It is an invitation to better myself the way the other person has. It's a perception
that applies to both of us. It's a way to make the recipient wealthy without spending a lot of money. Its a big thing that doesn't take up much space. It is one of life's highest pleasures to give--and receive--books. —Sid Hall
