Books as Gifts- Librarians Recommend

See the list of the Top 25 Notable books for 2013.  Surely there is something on this list for your persnickety relative.

Notable Books Council goal is to make available to the "nation’s readers a list of 25 very good, very readable, and at times very important fiction, nonfiction, and poetry books for the adult reader."
