======================================================
A GIFT FOR A JEFFERSON COLLECTOR
>
> Christmas Gift for Boss
> My budget is only $50
> Any suggestions?
You probably will want to get a book. I have not read the recent book by
Meier, but I saw her interviewed on TV and I would never recommend
the
book after seeing the interview. The 1993 book by Willard Sterne
Randall, "Thomas Jefferson: A Life," is good. One of the difficulties is
avoiding giving a TJ collector something he already has. He probably
already has Dumas Malone, which is scholarly but a little dull.
The TJ Memorial Association at Monticello has a gift shop and, I believe,
a catalog. You probably have time to get it and perhaps order
something
out of it. Check out:
http://www.monticello.org
and see if you can order the catalog online.
Sorry I can't be more definite, but that's a tough question.
Best wishes,
Eyler Coates
