You've got to do it *very* *carefully*, so the book still retains the appearance of being unread. And woe betide you if crumbs fall out afterwards...

Yup, I was about to say avoid eating chocolate whilst doing it.

I haven't actually taken delivery of said books (and I won't identify them in case the recipient gets a clue) - they might turn out to be too fragile to read without pages dropping out :-(

I would be hurt if someone gave me books without reading them. I'd think 'not good enough for you?'

Books is books. Read them, you damnfool.

Also, I'd want to discuss them with you and I couldn't do that if you hadn't read them.
