Thanks for the recommendation. I found the title, The Gift, so interesting that I checked out the table of contents. It looks thought-provoking. Eric has talked with me a lot about how gift giving is viewed from an anthropological view: gift giving can be and often is very manipulative since one often gives expecting to receive. It looks like this book explores similar ideas. I added it to my wish list.
