Literature lovers are a very special breed. For them, a poster of a quote from their favourite book will generate just as much excitement as an expensive perfume. They're also the kind to instantly recognise a fictional sign, symbol or phrase from a novel with no explanation, whether it's a black dog at the bottom of a cup (Harry Potter) to the quote "double plus good" (Nineteen Eighty-Four).
Which is why we've created a gift guide for all of you fiction aficionados out there. From beautiful posters to unusual accessories and clothing, here's 21 wonderful things one can buy for all book worms.
