Presents For Bookish Types

Despite soul-crushing delays, I give you the next gift link in IttyBiz’s charity drive. Don’t know what I’m talking about? The proceeds IttyBiz receives from you buying this item (or any other item you buy, if you use the link provided) go to a charity that shall remain nameless. Want to know why it remains nameless? Click here.

Anyway. You know the person. You ask them what they want for Christmas and they say “books.” What kind of books, you ask? “You know, books.”

You don’t know what to get them because everyone likes different books and they might like trashy romance while you like Westerns. (You don’t like Westerns, do you?)

Anyway, back to shopping. Bill Clinton’s latest book, Giving: How Each Of Us Can Change The World, is cool and blessedly short compared to his autobiographical tome. It’s pretty trendy and it’s just as appropriate for your father-in-law as it is for the office Secret Santa. Plus it’s a book, so it’s pretty cheap. (I realize that by writing this I’ve kind of blown my chances of giving it to my own father-in-law. Sorry, Dave.) Bill’s giving a whole bunch of his proceeds to the charities he talks about in the book. I dig changing the world. You should too.

If nobody on your gift list knows how to read, or if everyone you know is a Republican, you can click here to check out the last gift idea. Far sexier, and no reading involved.

Click here to get hand-picked, charity-friendly book updates every day from now until Christmas. This will both increase my subscriber base and give you the opportunity to act pretentious at Christmas parties. It’s win-win.
