Amazon: Michael by Jason Fine - HarperStudio
First to recommend
Description
Rolling Stone journalists, with a little help from industry insiders such as Stevie Wonder and Sheryl Crow, tell the full story of the man, the music and his unique magic. An up-to-the-last-minute tribute that does justice to the artist we knew as Michael Jackson . . . and leaves his fans breathless once and forever.

Uncommon Goods: LIFE SIZE ZOO BOOK
First to recommend
Description
None of the work and most of the fun of having a flesh and blood menagerie, this book gives kids an interactive front-row view and fun facts for twenty different animals. From tiger to tapir, this is a safari extraordinaire.

Amazon: Madonna - Celebration: The Video Collection
First to recommend
Description
From my first glimpse of "Borderline" to my obsession with "True Blue" to the ecstatic experience of "Ray of Light," Madonna has always meant a mystical blend of word and image for me - never simply one or the other. So, although it is impossible to package Madonna herself, this DVD set is a package deal which does her living legacy proud.

Barnes and Noble: Read My Pins by Madeleine Albright
First to recommend
Description
Style matters. And accessories speak, crossing boundaries that sometimes the most well-conceived speeches fail to reach. No one understands this better than Madeleine Albright, scholar, diplomat and author of "Read My Pins."

Levenger: The Prompt Copy of A Christmas Carol with an introduction by Isaac Gewirtz
First to recommend
Description
That Charles Dickens so loved his own story makes this classic all the more endearing; that he himself performed the tale began a long treasured holiday tradition. And this reproduction of Dickens' own annotated copy will make an intriguing gift for lovers of Dickens, theatre and Christmas itself.

Barnes and Noble: Earth - narrated by James Earl Jones, directed by Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield - DVD
First to recommend
Description
Sunday nights always remind me of three things: popcorn, Disney and Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. And now I can enjoy at least two out of three any day of the week in Disney's "Earth": a season-spanning journey to the places and animals that make our world such a spectacular showplace. A visual treat ready for giving to the next generation of our planet's stewards.

List that features this:
Amazon: Manhood for Amateurs - The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son by Michael Chabon
First to recommend
Description
A columnist for "Details" magazine and accomplished novelist, Chabon has a charmingly self-effacing style, lampooning himself, his life and offering wry observations of the state of modern day man. And, even more delightfully, he has assembled a collection of thought-provokingly humorous meditations just in time for holiday giving to the fathers, brothers, husbands and overgrown boys in your life.

List that features this:
Barnes and Noble: Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, illustrated by Ruben Toledo - Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition Series
First to recommend
Description
Although I adore my tattered copy of Wuthering Heights (as well as the deeply dark love story within), Toledo's illustrations give the story even deeper, darker goth appeal. A splendid gift for any Bronte fan . . . or as an introduction for a fan-to-be.

The Dangerous Alphabet: Neil Gaiman, Gris Grimly
2 people recommended this item
Description
Two children and a gazelle romp through a gruesome alphabet filled with even more grisly illustrations . . . and a whole lot of rhyming fun. Just the right amount of thrills and chills and alphabetical humor for ages 5 and up.

List that features this:
Barnes and Noble: The Wild Things by Dave Eggers
First to recommend
Description
Growing up isn't always fun, and it is often downright befuddling, as author and screenwriter Dave Eggers so raucously illustrates in his novelization of "Where the Wild Things Are." Drawing upon Max's furry-friended dream sequence as originally devised by Maurice Sendak, Eggers exposes the feisty animal spirit at the core of one young human named Max. A gift of inspiration for big kids, ages 12 and up.
