I was in Barnes and Noble yesterday buying a bunch of Pratchett novels for my dad for Christmas (hopefully he won't read this, at least before Christmas) and got accosted by the SF bookseller there trying to recommend more books with elves to me. I did finally take one of his suggestions and bought M. John Harrison's Viriconium for myself (no elves, I don't think) but it took awhile to get away from him.

As for the Pratchett novels, should I wrap them all individually so there's more for him to open, or package them all together somehow so he won't know they're all books?
