What We’re Giving: Holiday 2023

“I am going to give everyone in my family a copy of Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghase because you just can’t be related to me if you haven’t read this gorgeous family saga.” —Deb Futter, President and Publisher

“A lot of my friends and family love to entertain, and I can’t think of a better gift than Erin French’s new cookbook, Big Heart Little Stove. Erin is the chef-owner of The Lost Kitchen in Freedom, Maine, and her book is the perfect combination of simple recipes for every day or entertaining, along with tips for making a warm and loving environment. She even gives suggestions for food styling, place settings, and flowers. A great gift for the home cook in your life.” —Rachel Chou, SVP, Associate Publisher

“A shameless plug for a book that I edited and love. But it truly is a great gift for that basketball fan in your life!” —Ryan Doherty, Editorial Director

“My family is full of artists and art lovers, so my first stop for holiday shopping is usually a museum bookstore. This year, I’m eyeing Edward Hopper’s New York to give to my husband, who is a huge Hopper fan and loved the Whitney’s most recent exhibit of the artist’s work.” —Jennifer Jackson, Executive Director, Marketing

“It’s a quick, captivating read with a powerful voice, and there’s plenty to talk about afterward.” —Erin Cahill, Manager of Studio Art

“This book blew me away—I’m giving it to all my friends who loved Rebecca or Mexican Gothic. It truly is such a gorgeously written book about the scars of history and the hard work of those who try to break cycles. I couldn’t put it down!” —Sandra Moore, Marketing Assistant

“I’m gifting The Frugal Wizard’s Guide for Surviving Medieval England to my father this holiday season. As he’s a big fan of Robert Jordan and Robert Asprin, I think this Brandon Sanderson title will hit just the right spot. Time travel, medieval times, magic... What more can you ask for?” —Yelizaveta Rogulina, Intern

“I’m giving Little Thieves to a friend for our annual book exchange. This fairy-tale retelling is filled with witty banter that made me laugh out loud. The main character, Vanja, is fierce and capable — you can’t help rooting for her!” —Megan Draper, Intern
