q R N E R by Leslie Steysori,^ c The Gift of Words ^ When we begin that pleasant but sometimes . frustrating task of making our Christmas gift lists. O hoping to please those w^love, we're often uncertain about the choices -r Is it the right color...the right size...will it be duplicated by someone else? Most of

O. all — will it be liked?

Books can be^an ideal choice, and show you have OU given thought to the*person you're buying for. No one is ever.too ydung or too old for a book, and it's b present which remains long after the holiday season. FOR CHILDREN, books can be the beginning of a desire for learning. They can be entertaining, but % they can also stimulate curiosity', provide guidance

and educate. • ^

There are book's of every price on almost every subject. Most of the time, we think only of the best selling novels, which are fine; but spend a feW minutes considering the person you hope to please. What are their . interests? What are their hobbies? What do they en-

* jby doing?

In future columns we will discuss books appropriate for children, teenagers, and adults, and suggest a variety of titles and typ$s of books for Christmas giving. ‘ > Leslie Steypon is the pseudonym for a very rdal
