I was going through a box of old books before going to bed last night, and in my copy of the old Book of Common Prayer I found a bookmark that looks older than I am, in fact almost as old as my father. The bookmark, printed for a store in Fort Frances called The Book Stop, expresses a fine holiday sentiment, and I would like to share it with you.
Why Books Are Nice Presents
- They don’t require batteries
- They don’t give you a hangover
- Easy to assemble and operate
- Re-usable over and over
- No calories
- Available in a large variety of sizes and colour
- No messy maintenance
- Nothing to clean up when you finish
- They don’t make horrible noises
- They don’t wilt and die
Books are excellent gifts. Every year I receive them with open arms, and every year I give more books as gifts than anything else (sometimes more than all the other gifts combined). Share the love. Buy some books.
