covering true crime in the media

How to gift wrap a book… my cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com books.

Title: How to gift wrap a book

A book, scissors, sellotape and giftwrap on a table. The book has a friendly face and says "1. Roll out your chosen paper and put the book on it."

The book continues, saying "2. Take a moment to consider the book as an object." and "3. Ask yourself "Will the intended recipient fully appreciate this book and accord it the respect that it truly deserves?"

"4. Correct. They will not. Put the book on your shelf and replace it with a different gift."
Socks, chocolate, whatever.
Repeat steps 1-4 for any other books
