Christmas is coming.

Alright, I'm not really seeing this girl right now, but I still want to get her something cool for Christmas. She just read "Uncle Toms Cabin" and pretty much fell in love with it, so I was thinking about getting maby a special edition or special print or leather back copy (something fancy) of it. Now the only problem is I don't read, so I'm asking you people who do... Do people really like having copies of books they read? I've heard alot of people say they like the special prints, but I just don't read, so I don't get that. Also, is this as thoughtful of a gift as I think it is? Looking for help, very confused, thanks.

I can't speak for anyone but myself...but i would love something like that...i happen to love reading in general...but a special copy of a book i love would be an awsome present...and i think it speaks a lot...that you came up with an idea like this...it is very thoughtful

 

[Sam]

I agree with KAT she has a valid point

Thanks for the imput, I don't read so I don't really understand it, but I've always heard people like special copys of books. I wanted to do something thoughtful.

personally...I only want a copy of a book if I haven't read it yet, or if it is my ALLTIME favorite book ever. I NEVER EVER reread books. But a lot of people do. I just can't stand reading the same thing twice, unless it has been at least 10 years since the last time I read it.

I understand what you mean...buyt i guess in my case i read so much that it doesnt take me years to forget exactally what goes in in a book...i have over 200 books...and re-read all of em'

TWO HUNDRED!!! Damn, how do you have the time?

its been years in the making to gather this many books ...I've always loved reading...buy a book every chance i get...though it got to the point where i had to take a break from reading for awhile cause i was in the middle of so many series...start one series...go to the last book out in it...start another while waiting for the next book in the first series...and so on and so forth...then had to go back and reread series cause i forgot where i left off when the new book came out...i'm a dork what can i say

Personally as a reader of a lot of books I enjoy having a special edition to thumb through and show off but also a normal copy for normal reading that I don't have to worry about getting bent up and ruined. I can't speak for the girl you're going to buy it for because I don't know her but it sounds like a quality idea to me.

I just am one of those people that remembers everything I read. I don't have a photographic memory when it comes to pictures as much, but with words, I can remember everything. Like if you read me a sentence out of a book I have read before, I could probably name what book it was out of.

Hmmmmm... maybe Artemis Fowl.
