n Japan there is a custom that when one gives gifts to people the weight of the gift is synonymous with the actual feeling of gratitude that the giver has. In the West such considerations do not figure as important. Perhaps more important is size. From childhood we are told that big is best, and children instinctively prefer big presents to small tiny boxes.

Perhaps the only small thing that most children prefer is a small book - that way they can spend more time on those big presents.

Many children are disappointed at receiving books for birthdays or Christmas. They prefer a comic almanac or a joke book that they can read all day. But when they grow up they often feel regretful and wish they had been a little more book attentive than they were. Hence there are many adults who devour books to try and make up for lost time - they are the most difficult people to buy books for. So a much better idea for your book loving friends is a bear bull bookend!

Bookends are extremely useful for any book lover. They say that in every fat book there is a thin book trying to get out. Well, in many bookends there may be some fat books trying to get out. But these bookends are so big that they will have to push pretty hard to get out of this squeeze!

They are also great for the financial minded individual. They are used as awards at investment houses and brokerage firms for top stock traders and advisers.
