It really comes across that these books are made for delight and for their intrinsic value, rather than direct commercial gain. Sort of a subliminal Christmas message within a more overt Christmas story. <br /><br />We have a small set of Christmas books in CSB Special Collections, too -- including the ones issued by Tunheim Santrizos/Tunheim Group in Mpls for their clients. I especially like the ones featuring MN writers, like Jon Hassler on Christmas Eve in Omaha. http://cdm15734.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/p15734coll2/id/295/show/293Kathy Parkernoreply@blogger.com
