Bootes bnng variety
to holiday gift giving
By William Rudolph
Staff Reporter
Having yourself a literary little
Christmas seems easier than ever
this holiday season, as a bonanza of
books make gift-giving easy in
1988. Unlike clothing that might not
fit or fabulous meat and cheeses of
the world assortments, one can
easily match a book to a person
with a little imagination and persis
tence.
Afficienados of trashy literature
won’t have to worry about having
been naughty or nice this year, as a
host of popular literature waits to
be put under the tree. Current best
selling titles include espionage
titles “The Cardinal of the Kremlin”
by Tom Clancy and Leon Uris’
“Mitla Pass." On the naughty side,
Judith Krantz and Sidney Sheldon
both have new novels out for the
holidays, not to forget “Dynasty"
star Joan Collins’ “Prime Time.”
Peter Straub’s “KoKo" and Stephen
King’s “The Watch Tower” can put
a chill into a winter night’s reading
And on the more literary lists, Anne
Tyler’s “Breathing Lessons” and
Larry McMurtry’s “Anything For
Billy,” a Fictionalized account of
Billy the Kid, are big sellers. Last but
certainly not least, “The Queen of I
the Damned,” the conclusion to
Anne Rice’s erotic and mesmerizing
Vampire Chronicles, is forecast as a
strong Christmas seller, according
to area bookstores. And for those
who want to spend most of their
semester break reading, James |
Michener delivers yet another hefty
saga in "Alaska.”
In mass market, Stephen King’s
“The Tommyknockers” and the
ever-popular Danielle Steel’s Ka
leidoscope” make hot selling,
stocking-stuffer paperbacks for
those wno couldn’t gel them at the
library, said Waldenbooks man
ager Jen Wattles.
According to Wattles, quick sell
ing biographies this season seem to
be “Grade,” George Burns’ account
of his late wife, Grace Allen, and
Shirley Temple Black’s autobiogra
phy “Child Star,” the story behind
the real ride on the Good Ship Lol
Ivooo
For shoppers looking to put a
little laughter into someone’s holi
day season, Gary Larson’s "Far Side
Gallery #3" arrid the Far Side 1989
box calendar can come to the res
cue of those unable to get enough
of the comic strip in the Daily Ne
braskan alone. Comic page rivals
Calvin and Hobbes may give Larson
a run for his money. Kathryn Kelley
of the Nebraska Bookstore foresees
tremendous popularity for Spy
Magazine’s “Separated at Birth,” a
collection of unlikely celebrity
photo pairings, such as Geraldine
Ferraro and David Bowie.
For the younger people on a gift
list, Kelley said Maurice Sendak’s
new "Dear Millie” and Chris Van
Allsburg's familiar “The Polar Kx
press" have both been selling well,
while Wattles mentioned Shel
Silverstein’s classic "Where the
Sidewalk Ends” as a safe bet for a
present.
Finally, spoofs of opular maga
zines are still prevalent for the ani
mal lover’s howliday present. This
season, “Vanity Fur" and "Teddy’s
Bearzaar" take their places on the
shelf beside “Pupple" and last
year’s popular “Catmopolitan” and
"Dogue.”
Don’t forget gift books this sea
son. A survey of area bookstores
revealed "Christmas in America,
the photo collection by the same
team who produced “A Day in the
Life of America" and “Imagine: I he
Life of John Lennon” to be likely
contenders for space on coffee
tables in the coming year.
