it always amazes me when members of my family say ( same thing every single year ), " We didn't know what to get you, " usually accompanied by socks or a jumper, or some equally as useless attempt at a present. and every single year they get exactly the same reply: " You've known me for the best part of fortyfive years, and you DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BUY ME FOR CHRISTMAS?!! BUY ME A &@#£-ING BOOK!!!! "
oh, yes. every year's a Book Christmas in the House of Joe, Thomas!
Books, books, books—I love books. And I never get any for Christmas. Like Joe, alla time I get socks and gloves and scarves. Bless everybody's hearts, but I love books!

My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.

Hi Thom,
Books are always on our core Christmas list. I love to give them as gifts.
My friend Kate always requests the gift of "words" at Christmas. When she opens the wrapping on a new book she sniffs the edge like pure nourishment.

That's why you have a house, to keep your books dry.
