Behold, A Book For Everyone On Your Holiday List

If you ask us, books make for the ideal holiday gift. On a practical level, books are the easiest shape to wrap (Team Rectangle!). More importantly, there aren't many better feelings than knowing someone has scoured shelves and chosen something specifically for you.

We're here to help you wade through the best offerings of 2018 and the recent years. There's a book out there for every kind of personality, and every kind of friend. Here are our picks.
