FAQ<\/h2>\r\n

What gifts do book lovers like?<\/h3>\r\nBeyond the obvious gift choice for bookworms (the books themselves), there are plenty of accessories and treats that will make their day. Consider a book-themed tote bag, handy reading light or even a gift card to a local bookshop that allows them to shop to their heart's content.\r\n

How do you make a book gift more special?<\/h3>\r\nIf you decide to offer a book as a gift, you can always jazz it up with a new and stylish bookmark, stickers or even a custom book embosser<\/a>.\r\n

Should I inscribe a book gift?<\/h3>\r\nWhy not make your book gift special by adding a personalized note at the beginning? That way, the reader will always think of you when they crack it open. You can even annotate parts of the book in the margins if it's one of your favorites, too.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
