I accidentally stumbled upon this set of Jane Austen books during an in-person visit to Barnes & Noble last summer. The gorgeous covers stopped me in my tracks and I couldn't resist flipping through. I listen to audiobooks hands-free while cooking or household chores or even while relaxing on the couch with my crochet projects. I selected some of my very favorite gifts that I have personally received along with some finds I discovered by accident along the way.

This fall’s crop of outstanding museum exhibitions has been accompanied by some equally exceptional publications. Topping my list is the Museum of Modern Art’s “Picasso Sculpture.” It appeals especially to those who search monographic catalogs primarily for the artist’s chronology. The Modern’s latest, hefty Picasso catalog is nearly all chronology. Their impeccably detailed, heavily illustrated account proceeds work by work, tracking every aspect of Picasso’s involvement with sculpture, and includes photographs of his studios and of exhibitions of his efforts.

It attaches directly to the wall, so there’s not even a need to find extra floor space . Any kind of bookend you can imagine probably already exists. You want to make sure you get something your book lover will like — after all, they are the items that will hold their precious books together. If you know that bookends are on your book lover’s wish list but aren’t exactly sure what kind to get them, wood is always a solid bet. Wood goes with pretty much anything, and at the end of the day, it's the very material that books are made of — so it makes a kind of poetic sense. Books are like video games in that you need to do a little work to enjoy them, but the pay-off is totally worth it.

It records some 180 examples of plain-spoken stoneware jugs, jars, churns and pitchers made between 1850 and 1880 in different counties and regions in Texas, representing around 80 potteries and individual potters. Their utilitarian simplicity and alkaline, salt or slip glazes can evoke the random drips and speckles of Japanese ash-glaze ceramics. Neue Sachlichkeit and photography are only part of the “Berlin Metropolis” catalog and its exhibition, which is at the Neue Galerie in New York through Jan. 4, and broadly examines the artistic ferment of the Weimar period. Like “New Objectivity,” this catalog is rich with essays by several contributors. It effectively outlines the far-reaching visual culture of Germany’s first tragic attempt at democracy. There are even great sections on the importance of certain "soft factors" to health — caring for a cat or a dog can be a serious boost to wellness.
Well, yes, all bibliophiles can attest to that joyful moment of being handed a wrapped parcel, and instantly noting the familiar feel of the solid book cover, and the weight of the many bound pages. Of course, there’s also the excitement of tearing away the wrapping paper and discovering the newest addition to your bookshelf within. This book, about a struggling Canadian writer who tries to keep her brilliant, wonderful, intractably depressed sister from committing suicide, sounds like a real downer. You’d be hard-pressed to find a novel this life-affirming or one written with more playfulness, generosity and wit. “All My Puny Sorrows” is an exuberant affirmation of family love, of the power of humor, of the responsibility we have toward one another. It’s still possible, the author demonstrates, to find meaning and joy amid tragedy.
These colorful illustrations by Jane Mount are sure to add charm wherever they are placed. All of your books (you’d surely need a TARDIS for that!), but it will let you carry enough to get you through your day. After the video game industry crash of the early 1980s, no American company would go near a video game with a 10-foot pole. Power-Up by Chris Kohler explores how Japanese companies were able to help revive an industry that was all but considered dead and, in the case of so many Atari games, quite literally buried. Both John Cage’s wit and his social ideals shaped the atmosphere at Black Mountain College, an experimental school in Asheville, N.C., that became a legend in its own time. Read all about it and them in “Leap Before You Look,” the catalog for an exhibition of the same name at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, through Jan. 24.

“Bitch Planet,” set in a futuristic world where women must be compliant or risk being exiled to an off-world prison, is the most exhilaratingly audacious series I’ve read this year. It has diverse and compelling characters, powerful imagery and inventive covers and double-page spreads that recall posters for exploitation films. There are even satirical back-page advertisements for items like X-ray specs (“the perfect way to see through his intentions”).
