What if you need to congratulate the book lover on his birthday, but neither professional activity nor hobby is associated with love of literature, like a birthday boy? The next few tips will help you choose a book.
First of all, you need to decide on the genre. Surely the birthday boy has a preference in literature: perhaps he is fond of history, painting, or loves the works of a particular author.
When the subject of the book is determined, you should pay attention to its design: what is the quality of the paper, the cover (for long-term use it is better to buy hardback books), whether the book is well stitched. Some books are sold in a case that protects it from damage and is an interesting design element. A dust jacket is another option for a high-quality and at the same time original design.
A very important property of a book is readability. Attention should be paid to the margins of the paper page. In a good edition, the bottom margin should be the largest (due to the placement of the page number), the side and top margin should be approximately the same size. Problems usually arise with the internal field: if it is too wide, the book will be unpleasant for the eyes, but if, on the contrary, it is too narrow, then it will take considerable effort to read the text on the spread. The size of the font plays a big role. It is important that it is not too small (to avoid eye strain), but also not too large - because of this, the volume of the publication may be too large, which increases not only the price, but also the inconvenience when reading.
To choose the right book, the buyer needs to answer the question whether he would read it himself or not. And if the answer is yes, you can safely purchase a gift.
