Give the Gift of Reading | Gift Ideas

Not sure what to buy? Contact us and we’ll offer some suggestions that will knock the reading glasses off any gift recipient.


T-Shirts & Sweatshirts		Bookends

You or your gift recipient might also like an Out of Print T-shirt. It’s a gift plus one--each purchase also provides a book for a child in Africa.		Along with our t-shirts and books galore—from StLBooks and from Amazon, we offer our exclusive StLBooks-designed Retro Bookends for adults and our Children’s Kite Bookends for babies and children up to age 10. Each pair is made of sturdy powder-coated steel and carries enough weight to make sure your books will stand proud. They are available free with the purchase of a Gift Library (see below).



First Editions and Signed Books		Custom Gift Libraries

First Editions and signed books make lovely gifts for anyone and are often selected for corporate gifts. Contact us for details on the First Editions and Signed books we currently have available or request a special order. We will be happy to locate and ship the perfect volume for your special recipient. Please allow a minimum of two weeks for delivery of special orders.		We can also put together a Custom Library for any reader on your gift list. Gift libraries are very popular choices for baby showers and children’s birthdays, but we can create a library for anyone—for any occasion or around any theme. A few well-chosen books can celebrate a relocation or retirement. Cookbooks, reference books, and home organization books make excellent wedding and house-warming gifts—to mention just a few of our ideas. Themed libraries can offer hours of entertainment to a mystery lover, graphic novel enthusiast, fly fisherman, or devourer of biographies. Our Gift Libraries consisting of 6 or more books come with a free pair of bookends and our deluxe bookmark, hand-signed with your name as the presenter. The cost of each library depends on several factors—age of recipient, occasion, number of books, size of books, etc. Just tell us a little about your recipient or the occasion and we’ll make a recommendation that includes the total cost (including shipping) for a unique gift they’ll never forget. See our libraries chart for a general idea of the price ranges. Contact us for more information.
