Books Make Great Gifts

As we approach the holiday gift-giving season, I would like to remind my followers that a book or books could be the perfect gift for someone on your list. Besides giving someone the joy that lies between the covers, books are a snap to wrap. You won't have to deal with a weird shape, and don't have to look for a box. How great is that at this busy time of year?

Another benefit of gifting books is you can mail a book for less postage than an item of comparable weight. If you mail only the book--no other items--you can send it media rate. This can only be done at the post office and you will have to ask the agent for media rate. Don't wait till the last minute. Media rate usually takes a couple of days longer than regular mail.
