It is that time of year again. What ideas do you have for gift books?

For your linguaphiles, this one comes highly recommended, but I've not read it:

Metaphors We Live By George Lakoff and Mark Johnson - I am told this is the best book available about metaphor as a thought process.

Then there is Harriet Reisen's Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women - here is a discussion about it. Shu bought it for me, and I plan to read it soon.
