Tis the season to buy books for the young reader.

Buying books for your children, grandchildren and friends will give them something to remember you by and to improve the reading skills of those you love. I still have books given to me sixty years ago by uncles, aunts and parents. These books, although not always appreciated at the time, have become my guidepost and contact with many who have gone from my earthly life, but not from my heart.
