Birthday Reminder #2: In the event the honoree already has the book, please save the reciept for returns. Inspiration may come from the Honoree. Honoree's InterestsFind out what they are reading now. If you are in the person's home, scan bookshelves to get an idea of their interests. Do they collect cookbooks? Do they like how-to books? What is the person's hobby or favorite sport? Which authors does he or she admire? The perfect birthday book focuses on the honoree's particular interest, hobby, sport, collectibles, etc. Often the national bestseller is a safe choice for gift books, but if you want to pick a specific theme, you will need to follow some guidelines for choices. For hobbies select expert or how-to books. For sports select rules, history or biographies. For enthusiasts, such as bird-watchers, select expert reference books that are light-weight for tavel. One of the most favorite ideas is to select a book for your gift basket. Gift baskets usually follow a theme, so finding the perfect gift books for a theme has never been easier. Books make a wonderful addition to all gift baskets. Library SystemIf you are near a public library, go to the index files and look up the person's hobby, sport, etc. for ideas. Familiarize yourself with the layout of the library and be aware of the filing system to find suitable titles. It's called the Dewey Decimal System - this is how books are categorized and filed on the shelves. If you are looking for a birthday book, save yourself some time by getting familiar with this system. Libraries and most book stores group books according to the Dewey Decimal System, which has ten main classes or categories for books. Each category is further divided into subcategories and so on. The categories are:
000 – Computer science, information, and general works 100 – Philosophy and psychology 200 – Religion 300 – Social sciences 400 – Languages 500 – Science 600 – Technology applied science 700 – Arts and recreation 800 – Literature 900 – History and geography and biography
