It's that time of the year to start thinking about giving gifts to friends, family members, and loved ones (and gifts for yourself)! If someone on your gift list is a fan of books, they will be sure to love these gift ideas. These range in prices and gifts for readers of all ages.
Some of the items at these shops are currently on sale, but I've provided the original price for consistency. Unless otherwise noted, all photos are from the respective stores.
