Gift certificates to chain bookstores. I do love books, but I very much dislike going to the huge monoliths, because I live in the city. I understand that people go there if there aren't good independent bookstores nearby, but I am near some excellent ones. My preference is for supporting those, so if you want to get books of my choice for me, please either use my list here or get a certificate from Booksense, which I can use at independent stores. Thanks. I know this probably sounds strange to some of you, but I'd really appreciate it.
Inferior books on English usage. (Unsure? Just avoid any not listed above.)
