Whether you’re looking for a book for a fiction fan or a nifty, one-of-a-kind literary print, The Ames Library has assembled a pastiche of bookish gift ideas from other websites for all of your holiday-shopping needs.<\/p>\n

The first guide, from Paste Music<\/a>, highlights ten noteworthy music books from 2018. Maybe your giftee is a Lou Reed fan, in which case Ezra Furman’s newly released\u00a0Lou Reed’s<\/em> Transformer ($10.37 from Amazon<\/a>) is the ideal thing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Or perhaps they have a burning desire to answer the decades-old question of whether rock ‘n’ roll is dead. In that case, Steven Hyden’s\u00a0Twilight of the Gods: A Journey to the End of Classic Rock<\/em> ($14.27 through Amazon<\/a>) is a good pick.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If your giftee (or you) leans more toward art and fashion, then the Obvious State<\/a> shop may be the perfect place to get started. They offer a variety of exquisitely designed journals<\/a>\u00a0($10), art prints<\/a>\u00a0($24), totes<\/a> ($24), mugs<\/a> ($16), and more.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\nThe American Library Association<\/a> has also gotten in on the action with a number of gifts to please the bibliophiles in your life, ranging from $3 to $95. Our favorites include a replica card catalog box<\/a> from the Library of Congress ($19.95) and the ALA’s own prompt journal\u00a0This Journal Is Overdue<\/a> ($16.99), which is designed to get its owner thinking about the authors and books that have made an impact on them.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nFinally, if your giftee is just looking for a good read in general, Library Journal<\/a> has put together a slide of the 10 Best Books of 2018 in 19 categories, from graphic novels and biography to world literature and poetry.<\/p>\n

If you’re more interested in treating yourself to all these book-related goodies, though, we promise not to tell!\u00a0📚<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
