You can’t go wrong buying books for folks on your holiday list. You can feel good about promoting authors, independent publishers, and the love of reading. But even better than giving books as gifts is giving books purchased from the Mono Lake Committee. Then you’re supporting not only authors and independent publishers, but also the Mono Lake Committee!
Our holiday catalog is full of books that could be perfect for folks on your list. For instance, older children will love learning about crazy true-life bird behavior with Angry Birds. BirdWingFeather will engage younger children with its beautiful colors and patterns. And for adult birders, the Sibley Guide to Birds: Second Edition and Green Birding are must-haves.
To gift recipients in lands of drought (think California), Reimagining the California Lawn and Rainwater Harvesting provide knowledge and insight in conserving water while creating beauty. Finally, any fiction reader will appreciate Alice Munro’s amazing tales in Dear Life, and Buried in the Sky will keep adventurers (or armchair adventurers) on the edge of their seats. Happy reading and happy holidays!
