Book Lovers & Writers
Readers already have a towering to-be-read pile, so skip the novel they will not get to until next summer. Give a book they can open in two seconds instead: a Limoges book box, hand-painted in France, hinged and gift-boxed. It suits the poet, the librarian, the book club host and the writer whose manuscript is almost done. No bookmark needed, and no spoilers either. It is a story with a happy ending every time.
These are books you are allowed to judge by their covers. Look for literary favorites like The Little Prince, Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes and the Hunchback of Notre Dame. There are journals with sunrises, law books with tiny gavels and a French castle bound in pink. Animals get bookish too, with a frog reading in his chair and a turtle lost in a good story. Writers will spot fountain pens and letter openers, and the hinged lid can hold a flash drive or a favorite quote.
Book lovers instinctively know how to collect, because one more is never too many. Line porcelain books between real bookends, or gather them on a reading table beside a favorite lamp. Some readers match each box to a beloved genre, while others aim for a complete miniature library. These make wonderful gifts for teachers, lawyers, librarians and anyone who reads in the bath. Happily ever after, no late fees.
