However, we think it might be more cost-efficient to get books for the kids for Christmas this year. For instance, the book of sheet music that my 15-year-old wants will be less expensive than an mp3 player.Dani In NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032707452740200776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-2049295816179343602008-11-23T10:48:00.000-06:002008-11-23T10:48:00.000-06:00Good idea, Patti.

As well as being a reader, I also sell books that make the perfect gifts for children at school and craft fairs, so yep everyone should buy books this Christmas ;) I've done one event so far this Christmas and my takings are down about 15% from what I'd expect (based on last year). <BR/><BR/>I know personally that I would be very happy to see some books for me under the Christmas tree, not so much fiction, as I think that can be harder to judge right but non-fiction, I'm hoping I've dropped enough hints about Russell T. Davies book and a craft or cooking book is always welcome!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
