It’s Better To Give

While our focus for DiverseBooks.net is on scholarly and academic books, that does not mean they are all on weighty, strictly academic subjects. All work and no play make one a dull scholar. We offer many titles on subjects that are informative but fun to read and that may appeal more to your avocations than your vocation. These also make for excellent gifts. Does your list include a music fan? A foodie?  An art lover? A world traveler? A history buff or photographer? Browse our selections to find gives for these readers.

The readers and thinkers on your gift list will never have too many books. You don’t have to worry about what size or color to get, and the recipients probably won’t mind if they already have dozens of books on the same subject. If you get those books on Diversebooks.net, you will also reap substantial savings over retail list prices for the same titles. Your biggest problems will be narrowing down your selections and resisting the urge to buy stacks of new books for yourself, too.

We have searched for the most giftable books in our inventory of titles to offer selections. DiverseBooks.net offers many books that can serve as resources for classes, but these selections are for pleasure reading too. Here are some titles from our publishers, available at discount prices on our Website:
