These presents are sure to turn a book worm into a "book butterfly."

Wanting to get a gift for the book lover in your life but don't know where to start? Think the only thing to get is another book for them? You can, but there are a lot of other things to get them that feed their avid reading other than a novel that you hope they'll like.

Books have been around in many shapes and forms since at least the 3rd millennium BC. The calamus, an instrument in the form of a triangle, was used to make characters in moist clay.

So just like the history of books, here are are a few things that the bibliophile in your life might find interesting to get this holiday season.
