Give a book with a personal explanation of why you chose it while allowing the recipient to keep its pages unmarked. Gather the gift book, a blank card, a pen, and a paper band.
Set it up
Draw three small connected boxes on the card labeled why this book, where to begin, and what I hope you enjoy.
Put the idea to work
Fill each box with a short genuine observation about the book, avoiding promises about how the recipient ought to feel.
Finish and keep it useful
Slip the card beneath a loose paper band around the book so it remains visible and easy to remove. Avoid putting spoilers in the where-to-begin box or writing permanently inside a collectible edition.
What specific reason would you include when giving someone a book?
