20 Gifts for Book Lovers

Mon, 2014-12-01 09:30 -- Jocelyn Green
A few weeks ago, I had 75 minutes to myself and asked my Facebook page friends what I should do with that time. Should I clean? Do laundry? Wash dishes? Bake something? Read? Overwhelmingly, the answer was that I should READ. (I knew we were all kindred spirits!) And so, because I know you and I share this unbridled love for books, I thought I'd share the following with you. Up front: No, I do not get a commission from Bas Bleu. But I stumbled upon their catalog and could not help but circle something on almost every page. With a tag line of "Champion of the odd little book. . .and a wellspring of inspired gifts for readers"--is it any wonder? So allow me to share my favorite 20 gifts for book lovers here. Treat yourself. Treat someone you love. Literary gifts are always in season. (Click the images to visit the corresponding online catalog pages at Bas Bleu.) 1.
