Online gift guides for historians, history-buffs, or even academics tend to be limited almost exclusively to books. I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t want more work for the holidays, not to mention random history books by questionable authors from well-meaning gift-givers....
So with that in mind, I’ve compiled a list of gift suggestions at roughly six different price points.The prices are nicely delineated too: levels from Grad Student to University Administrator, with appropriate price increases.
If you still think historians actually like books as gifts, and I hope you do, considering the book-flogging I've been doing here lately, Canada's History's Book and Gift Guide, which has way more books than gifts, offers a good sampler of what's recent in Canadian historical writing.
