Everyone except Scrooge knows that giving really is better than receiving. England’s most notorious miser finally realized that gift-giving time and there is only joy and contentment. A gift is a present that gives back a smiley gift.

I, and I am sure you too recall buying something special for someone dear to you. We smile as we recall feeling a warm glow as the recipient’s eyes lit up and their smile reached from ear to ear.

The memory of giving stays with us forever. If your gift was a thoughtfully chosen book then the receiver’s gratitude will last as long as the memory.

A book that is signed by the giver will never leave the bookshelf of the relative or friend the book was gifted to. Even better, a book signed by the author is a present that cannot be matched by any other gift.

Perhaps this is the reason why the custom of giving books as gifts has lasted for hundreds of years.

There are other reasons too: a carefully chosen book for someone you love or in any way is special to you is as personal as a kiss. A book is a hug with every page turned.

A more pragmatic down-to-earth reason – or as a bonus – a book chosen with thought is suitable for any age, relationship, or gender.

Besides, who better than a relative or friend to respond to a relative or acquaintance’s taste in interesting reading.

MICHAEL WALSH BOOKS tick all the boxes. In the award-winning author’s growing collection, you will find novels on romance and crime, the paranormal and the erotic, suspense, travel, adventure, books and novels of maritime interest, and books for poetry lovers.

If this Christmas or at any gift-giving time you choose a Michael Walsh book or novel you will enjoy a similar warmth to that of the person you are gifting.

Is there a bonus? What takes the joy out of Christmas for many is the tiresome shopping – after parking (expensive). You have a list in your hand that reaches up your arm. Carefully and thoughtfully listed are a score or more friends and relatives.

What to buy for Dad and Mum? Brothers, girlfriends and boyfriends, sisters, friends and acquaintances. All those on your list are of different ages with each having different tastes.
