Holiday Picks
This week we put together a list of gift book staff favorites. here's my choices for great gift ideas...
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Pop-Up Book illustrated by Robert Sabuda
Isbn: 0689847432
Price: 24.95
This is my favorite book to show people in the store. Each pop-up page is intricately designed for maximum "WOW!" factor. Sabuda cleverly inserts Alice's story in mini pop-up books on each page. This one needs to be seen to be believed. A perfect gift for children who take care of their books or for Lewis Carroll fans.
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
ISBN: 0743486226
Price: 17.95
Most people have read or heard about his bestselling "Da Vinci Code." This earlier story has the same character in a thrilling mystery set deep in the Vatican City. Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is drawn into solving a series of murders that is shocking everyone, including the Pope. The blend of religious and world history with a can't-put-down storyline makes Dan Brown a master of the genre.
Giraffes? Giraffes!
ISBN: 1932416048
Price: 24.00
Did you know Giraffes originally came from Neptune (the orange planet), can run 780 MPH, and have an ongoing rivalry with the fiercest sea monsters? This clever "instructional" book on the giraffe species gives many unknown facts and lore regarding a misunderstood, yet very tall, animal. Brought to you by the McSweeney's folks, this is a perfectly irreverent gift to give to nieces, nephews, or other people who need their giraffe-knowledge corrupted.
