…especially if they’re first editions.
This suggestion from BuzzFeed gladdens my heart — give the happy couple a book, specifically a signed first edition of one of their favorites.
However, you may not want to spend $80,000 for the first edition Salinger pictured here.

For other books, Abe Books has possibly the best online market for such rarities around.

Nor even for the fact that a close study of Shakespeare’s canon encompasses (through six degrees of Kevin Bacon) the whole of Western knowledge that preceded him. It’s also because he was one of the world’s pre-eminent thriller writers.”
