I've started my Christmas shopping and I'd love to do some shopping here!  I was wondering if we can start a list of New or Like New books that you have on your shelf that are appropriate for gift giving.  I'm not necessarily looking for 2 for 1 credit deals or anything on this list... just a list of giftable books that I'm will to pay full credt for if I find a title that is appropriate for someone on my Christmas list!
