Looking for a memorable and reasonably priced holiday present but stuck on gift giving ideas? Wondering what to give a recent UC grad or alum? Interested in Yiddish theater or know a nursing student who might get a kick from a 1917 reprint? Consider a book digitized from UC's library collections:

  • Cupid's Book of Good Counsel provides advice to the new bride of the early 20th century
  • Old French fairy tales (1920) by Comtesse de Sophie Ségur and Virginia Frances Sterrett
  • Abraham Lincoln and men of war-times (1892) by Alexander McClure

To browse and order, please visit UC Library Reprints.
Income generated from the sale of the books supports the stewardship of UC’s digital collections on a cost recovery basis. 
Give a gift that has special meaning and supports our libraries.
