If you want to learn about the arts, a book on the subject (or a specific area of the subject) can be a lifesaver. Not only do books on art and photography make great references and study guides, but they also make excellent gifts for any crafty or artistic people you know. Even if your friend can't draw a stick figure for her life, maybe she'd still appreciate a book of photography based on her favourite area (city photography, etc). We've compiled some great search ideas to get you started, as well as a few specific art/photography books that are very popular. Get ready to put on a beret, break out the easel, and start learning about art!
