I just received the following in an email from the bookstore (used and new books) in town and I had to share it with you:

Twenty Good Reasons Why Books Make the Best Presents:

1� Books don�t need to be assembled before being given.

2� Books don�t need batteries.

3� Books never come in the wrong colour or size.

4� Books don�t need to be serviced by a dealer.

5� Books don�t need spare parts.

6� Books are easier to gift wrap than footballs.

7� Books don�t bite, scratch or kick.

8� Books don�t need watering or fertilizing.

9� Books don�t irritate your allergies.

10. Books don�t go out of style.

11� Books look good with any decor.

12� Books don�t get aphids or draw ants.

13. Books don�t bark or need to be walked in the middle of the night.

14� Books don�t shrink, stretch or fade.

15� Books don�t need extension cords.

16� Books won�t scratch the coffee table.

17� Books don�t get stale before they arrive.

You gotta love them. I know I do.
