Gift Ideas from Jeroen
Every year we present you with our Gift Ideas: books, magazines, games or merchandise that we think would make great gifts in the December month.
This year we decided to introduce all our buyers to you at the same time. That way, if you want an expert, you’ll know exactly who to turn to in which store.

What items from the list above do you want to highlight?
“Ardennes 1944, because on December 16th, 71 years ago, that particular campaign began. Also, Beevor is an excellent writer who does his research very thoroughly.
“The Top of His Game: The Best Sports Writing of W. C. Heinz. This is a new edition of classic sports essays by Heinz. Great writing, and he covers a lot of different sports.
“Map: Exploring the World. A nice Phaidon edition with all types of maps from across the centuries. A great gift.”
