Yes, that crispness in the air is unmistakable — it's autumn, which means winter is next, which means the winter holidays are right around the frigid, icy, snow-packed corner. Time now to ask you for recommendations for gift-giving: What's the best book you ever received as a gift? Which book do you always give? Which book are you hoping for this year? Which book might you give? Please send an e-mail with your recommendation, and a couple of sentences as to why, to: books@startribune.com. We will run your suggestions with our annual holiday books section on Nov. 29.
