How to choose a book as a gift?

We love books, but getting them as a gift is another matter. Often, such a gift can seem impersonal, and one might think that his / her friend, family member, or colleague has spent no more effort than just going to a bookstore and picking up a nearby book with a flashy title. For a book to become a truly exceptional gift, that is, superseding all other gift options, requires a very special set of circumstances. Here's our advice:

Find out his / her tastes.

You wouldn't buy training gear for someone who doesn't use it. Similarly, you should consider what your recipient would really like to read, not just what you want them to read. Is your friend fond of hunting or fishing? Pick him a book from the category " Hunting, fishing, nature." Does she work a heavy office job? It's a whole subgenre! Try to give her "Famous diplomats of Russia" or another book from the section "Corporate gifts" or "Business, Power, Politics".

Do your research!

Was your colleague fond Of "Master and Margarita" or did she prefer "a Song of ice and fire"? We have books of both Russian and Soviet literature and books by foreign authors. You can also choose your favorite book and use the list of recommendations to it.

Make the gift exclusive.

The exception to the rule about taste is if there is a book, giving that you are sure that your recipient-especially if it is your significant other-will appreciate. If she is out of his / her comfort zone, put a note—like a card or inscription in the book itself or gift box to it-explaining your choice. For many books in our store are available gift packages, which are designed to emphasize the elitism and uniqueness of the publication.

Make the gift special.

Have you found a book that seems perfect for your friend, lover or brother, but you're not sure if he's read it before? Order a book from us with a unique design! Such a gift will not remain without attention and will long remind you of the pleasant moment of its receipt. In addition, since all our books are made by hand - such a gift will serve its owner for decades!
