Book-shaped objects are the new books: 25 great gifts for people who love books but not reading.
Everyone has that one friend who identifies as a “book lover” or a “book person” or simply “bookish.” Well, okay, one might think, but which books do they love? All books? It can’t be. (And yet.) So when the holidays come along, you could always give that person an actual book for the holiday, but considering they love books so much, how could you, a mere bystander, be expected to choose the best one to gift them? Wouldn’t you imagine that any book they wanted they would already have? Maybe you could give them some other kind of gift, a gift that would show them how well you know them and their love for books. But what could it be? Maybe something that’s not a book . . . but that looks like one? Luckily, the internet is filled with everyday objects that are shaped like books, and that you can buy. Here are a few of my favorites—from the actually kind of cool to the patently ridiculous.
