THE BEST KIND OF PRESENT
A BOOK is such a satisfactory sort of present to give; at least, I think so. Not only because, of course, you can read it yourself first, being careful not to drop any jam or coffee on it while doing so, but because it is a far more personal thing to give than, I think, most people realise. You give someone a book you've liked, that has meant something to you and you're giving that person an insight into your own thoughts and feelings, and asking them to share them with you."Georgie Henchel in a BBC broadcast.
