Almost as much as I love giving Games for Gifts, I love giving books. Books are a perfect balance between “practical” and “fun”. Here is my very long (but good grief I barely scratched the surface) list of great books we love. Take note that many of these books are parts of sets and collections, so while I usually just mentioned the first in the collection, I encourage you to look at all the books offered by each author!
