Girl ReadingIf you have family and friends who enjoy reading, why not slip a few books under the Christmas tree?

Given all of the time we spend staring at screens these days, it actually feels good to bury your nose in a book printed on paper.

I know that I love to get—and give—books as gifts.

For the history aficionado

You can pick up a copy of Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln

($11.93 at Books-A-Million) for the history buff on your list. Written by respected presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, who often appears on Sunday morning political shows, the book chronicles Lincoln’s path to the presidency and explores his ability to unite people.

First published in 2005, Team of Rivals is the basis for the recent Steven Spielberg movie, Lincoln, which casts Daniel Day-Lewis in the title role. (Save with Books-A-Million coupons.)



For the dog enthusiast

Inspired by their love for their pooches, friends Robin Layton, Kimi Culp and Lisa Erspamer put together A Letter to My Dog: Notes to Our Best Friends ($16.47 at Amazon), a book full of missives that people have written to their beloved canines.

The tome includes letters from the likes of Tony Bennett, Hilary Duff and Oprah Winfrey.

The dog lover in your life will surely appreciate the heartfelt sentiments. (Get Amazon coupons.)



For the pop culture whiz

You probably know someone who is obsessed with AMC’s zombie fest, The Walking Dead.

And while some fans of the television series have read the comic books on which it’s based, not everyone has, making The Walking Dead Compendium: Volume 1 ($35.99 at Target) an awesome gift.

Written by Robert Kirkman, with illustrations by Charlie Adlard, Tony Moore and Cliff Rathburn, this more than 1,000-page paperback features the first eight volumes of the comic book. (Get Target coupons.)
