Reason states that I should act like a good little economist and make a rational choice with these gift cards by purchasing things I need or perhaps the original items from my Christmas list. Instead, it is very likely that I will buy this:
The Romantic Egoists: A Pictorial Autobiography from the Scrapbooks and Albums of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald
The book is a very interesting break from the normal biography. It is designed like a family scrapbook, complete with baby pictures, college love letters and news clippings. Rather than reading the interpretations of an historian or colleague, the reader is afforded the opportunity to investigate the mementos and ephemera of the Fitzgeralds.
One of the books editors was Scottie Fitzgerald Smith, the only child of Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald. That Scottie helped decide what went into the book adds, in my opinion, an additional bit of history to the document.
