I’d like to direct your attention to this year’s Dave Barry’s Holiday Gift Guide.
Scroll down to the literary entry, and you’ll find:
• Literary entry: “Switch Blades of Italy,” $39.99 plus shipping and handling from Collector Bookstore, (913) 651-0600, www.collectorbookstore.com.
– Suggested by Dan Fuller of New Philadelphia, Ohio.
Every year without fail, except those years when we forget, we include a literary selection in the Holiday Gift Guide. This year’s selection is “Switch Blades of Italy,” a book that is guaranteed to be of great interest to anybody who is interested in the topic of Italian switchblades.
According to the promotional material, “Switch Blades of Italy” contains “never-before-published information which clears up and dispels many myths” and reveals “the major players shaping the switchblade industry.”
That’s right: The switchblade industry has myths AND major players. It’s a riveting story, we are certain. We will be surprised if this book does not become a major motion picture starring Keanu Reaves as a myth-dispelling major player who stabs his way to the top.
If you’re a guy, and you’re looking for a romantic gift for that “special lady” on your list, this book is definitely it. Imagine the look on her face when she takes off the wrapping! You’ll want to stand back, in case she’s using scissors.
That’s right, folks, Switch Blades of Italy, from Collector Bookstore.
It’s gonna be a Collector Bookstore Christmas after all.
(Speaking of which, meet the crew.)
