Chronicle Books Giveaway

If you haven't heard about it yet, you should know that Chronicle Books is hosting a huge holiday giveaway! Bloggers can create a post showing $500 worth of Chronicle Books and automatically be entered to win their lists. If you don't blog, you can simply comment on someone else's list; if that blogger wins, someone who commented on his or her blog will also win (it could be you!).

I perused Chronicle Books, and I am drooling! They have some great things! Here is what I narrowed it down to:
