Every year the staff at Vertigo debates which titles should become our Holiday Specials: memorable, worthwhile books that are great gifts and might make your holiday shopping easier. Creating imaginary family members and friends, we argue about why certain titles qualify or do not. Here’s this year’s list. Vist our Holiday Specials page or download a flier (low res or hi res file) and stop in soon.
