Books are a great Christmas gift.  It’s true.  They might be the most overlooked Christmas gift in the world, too.

When you’re picking out gifts for friends and family this year, don’t forget to consider what books they might like to read.  Books don’t go bad, they’re always the right size, and even if they don’t get read right away they look nice on a shelf waiting for a rainy day.

This holiday season, consider giving Seven in a Jeep as a gift.  The recipient will enjoy it, and even if they’re not a heavy reader, Seven in a Jeep‘s episodic format, with short standalone chapters, are great for readers who only pick up a book every once in a while.
