FOR THE COFFEE LOVER
Without a doubt, there will be a zillion Kindles and iPads given as gifts this holiday season. But there are still things an e-reader can’t do. Through paintings, photo-graphs, even comic strips, these handsomely illustrated books celebrate the power of the printed image to capture our imagina-tions.—For the historianThe title of Bob Zeller and John J. Rich-ter’s “Lincoln in 3-D: Amazing and Rare Stereoscopic Views of His Life and Times” (Chronicle, $35) is slightly — and hap-pily — misleading. The book includes a few stately portraits of the president, as well as intriguing images of his family, his cabinet, his delivery of the Gettysburg Address and, movingly, his funeral procession. But the majority of the stereoscope photos col-lected here, viewable with an accompanying set of cardboard glasses, offers an eye-popping glimpse of Civil War-era America, from soldiers at Antietam to panoramic views of Washington and Fort Sumter to heartbreaking scenes of plantation life.—For the fashionistaAllure, said Diana Vreeland, is “something around you, like a perfume or like a scent ... it pervades.” First published in 1980, the
handsomely reissued “Allure” (Chronicle, $35) is a scrapbook of photographs, both posed and candid, of the fashion plates who possessed that ineffable quality and who inspired the legendary Vogue editor. Portraits by Edward Steichen, Cecil Beaton and others of such standard-bearers of beauty as Audrey Hepburn and a young, crazy-haired Mick Jagger are present and accounted for — but just as many images are intriguingly freaky: a manic Maria Callas, anime-eyed ‘60s model Penelope Tree and startling scenes from an eyelift operation.

Help You With Your Holiday Shopping

I still remember the wintry afternoon in my childhood when my dad put houses and hotels on Park Place and Broadway — effectively bank-rupting my brother and me.Those were the days before Redbox and Xbox, but board games still are a popular and inexpensive source of fun . This year, in fact, marks the 75th anniversary of Monopoly and the 50th of the Game of Life.We — my teen daughter, ‘tween son and baby boomer husband — tested some of this year’s new game offerings to see whether they pass the family togetherness test.———
TRIVIAL PURSUIT BET YOU KNOW ITThink of Trivial Pursuit — with poker chips. In this edition, you answer questions and place bets on whether the other players will know the answers in six categories with quirky topics such as Albert Ein-stein, shoes, buttered and Saturday Night Live.———
MONOPOLY REVOLUTIONThis is not your parents’ Monopoly game. The 75-year-old standby truly
has been modernized, with electronic debit cards instead of cash and a circular board, plus sound effects and song clips from the last five decades, including “Umbrella” and “Drive My Car.”———
WITS & WAGERS FAMILYThis entertaining trivia game asks questions with nu-merical answers. For example: How many eyes do most spiders have? On average, how many glasses of milk does a cow produce in its lifetime? How many pages are in the hardcover version of “Harry Potter and the Sor-cerer’s Stone”?
———THE GAME OF LIFE 50TH SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY EDITIONIt’s another updated classic, featuring a golden spin-ner and detailing on the game board. Biggest change: five new celebration coins to prompt discussion of real-life hopes and dreams.———

NAB-IT!A new take on Scrabble. Players attempt to “nab” or steal an opponent’s words by changing them to different words.———
FLASHIn this electronic version of Scrabble, build words with the interactive SmartLink tiles that flash and beep with each word you make.———
SORRY! SPINThis is Sorry with, literally, a new spin. The “board” is now a large circle with smaller circles that move around it (think planet and moons). It’s probably best for younger kids.
Got an uncle who insists on hunting wild mushrooms or butchering his own steak? There’s a cookbook for that. What about a working mom hoping to please picky palates during the daily dinner deadline? We’ve got her covered, too. From DIY fanatics to busy families, even science geeks, this year’s crop of cookbooks offers something for everyone.
FOR THE KIDSFor kids who like to make themselves a little something, “The Winnie-the-Pooh Cookbook” (Dutton, 2010) offers easy-to-follow recipes for smackerels like Poohandpiglet pancakes and
honey toffee apples. Original drawings by Ernest Shepard and memorable Pooh quotes make this reissue of Virginia Ellison’s 1969 classic a must-have for fans of the bear.
FOR DEVOTED FOODIES WHO HAVE IT ALLAmanda Hesser insists her “The
Essential New York Times Cookbook” (Norton, 2010) is not an update of the Craig Claiborne classic, but rather a new chronicle of the best New York Times recipes dating back to 1850. Dense, serious and heavy enough to double as a weapon, the book covers everything from Claiborne’s cheese fondue and vichyssoise a la Ritz to watermelon gazpacho and the pork belly tea sandwiches at a hip New York restaurant.

1. Grace Eco Extreme All-Terrain Speaker Case ($50, gracedigitalaudio.com): A heartier waterproof case for your mobile device, secured in a mesh pouch inside the storage area. A partier, too: The Eco Extreme, 8 inches tall and 5 deep, includes a 3-inch speaker that runs on three AA batteries. Decent sound, too, until the volume is pushed too high.
2. Eton Soulra solar-powered sound system for iPhone/Touch ($200, etonsoulra.com): A rugged, sweet-sounding speaker dock powered by a flip-up solar panel. All hail Ra, the Egyptian sun god.
3. Microlab MD332 ($120, microlabav.com): A clock-radio disaster — a 24-hour clock, a terrible radio and way too big — but the year’s supreme-bargain iPod dock. Good enough to use as a TV soundbar. Hard to find: Try the secondary dealers at Amazon.com.
4. Pelican i1015 protective case for iPhone/Touch ($37, pelican.com): In the roughest, most rugged terrain — like jostling in line for first-cut prime rib at the holiday carving station — your iPhone or Touch needs the strongest protection.The Pelican i1015 puts your device in protective custody, shielded from
water, dirt and au jus in a clear-lid plastic case, resting on a rubberized bed. (The Droid and other smart phones will also fit.)These heavy-duty cases have a headphone jack on the exterior but prevent access to the device’s controls. For that, look for slightly less bulletproof cases from Otter Box (otterbox.com).
5. Ion VCR 2 PC ($100, ionaudio.com): Looks like a VCR but also trans-fers old videotapes to your computer. Easy to use.
6. Audio-Technica ATH-ANC27 noise-cancellation headphones ($120, audio-technica.com): Maybe this isn’t the year to spring for the $300 Bose QuiteComfort noise cancellation cans. Make the ATH-ANC27
your post-recession choice.Good sound, decent external noise suppression and a durable soft-shell carry case. Available online for less than $50.
7. Clear iSpot 4G Hotspot for Apple devices ($99 with service staring at $45 a month, no contract, clear.com/spot): At its best, Clear’s new 4G service reaches mobile download speeds of close to 6 megabits per second — oh-so-close to a tower, I hit more than 11 mbps regu-larly — but sometimes 4G is nothing more than 3G with a market-ing slogan. The go-anywhere iSpot disc feeds Wi-Fi service to up to eight Apple devices, including the iPad. For non-Apple devices, try the Clear’s Spot 4G.
