Books, those ever-popular Christmas gifts, will doubtless be welcomed even more warmly than ever this year by those of your friends who like to read. They probably ave been borrowing books from the library instead of purchasing their own, and what book-lover doesn't know the thrill of possessing his very own copies of the newest works? There are so many exciting books for sale this year that, returning to the nefarious impulses of your childhood, you will, no doubt, be tempted to buy the books a month before Christmas, so that you may read them before sending them off!
