It's become tradition here at Living Unabridged to do a Book Lover's Gift Guide every November. These are gift ideas for the book lovers in your life, beyond just, you know, buying them more books (although that's great too, if you can think of some they don't have...)
Anyway, these are just ideas to get those gift ideas flowing. And yes, this post contains affiliate links. If you buy something from them it won't add anything to your bill and I will get to buy more books or gifts for the people on my list. So, win-win, right?
But these links are really just for ease of sharing ideas. I encourage you to shop local when possible. Most libraries have book sales throughout the year and many have gift shops that help support the local library system. If you're in the Cincinnati area I especially recommend the gift shop at the main library downtown. They have so many unexpected treasures (and yes, books) any book lover would be happy to find under his or her Christmas tree.
So, with all those disclaimers out of the way, onto the shopping!
