You’ve heard the saying that “‘tis better to give than receive,” but what if you could do both? This holiday season you can, thanks to a partnership between Neiman Marcus and First Book.
Make a $25.00 donation to First Book during the Neiman Marcus December InCircle event (December 8-11) and you’ll receive a $50.00 gift card. And while you’re shopping, don’t miss the amazing book installations and sculptures in every Neiman Marcus location in celebration of this partnership.
In addition to being beautiful works of art, the best part is that the hundreds and thousands of books in each installation, generously donated by Disney Book Group, will be distributed by First Book to schools and programs that serve children from low-income families in communities nationwide.
Don’t miss out – be sure to take advantage of the InCircle event at Neiman Marcus this week!

Book lovers everywhere are all talking about the most lavish, luxurious and literary experience of a lifetime: The Algonquin Round Table Dinner. First Book, chosen as Neiman Marcus’ 2009 signature charity, is bringing the best and brightest minds of modern literature to your dinner table. Inspired by the Algonquin Round Table of the 1920’s, the dinner, held at New York’s legendary Algonquin hotel, will include a magnificent array of literati.* Picture it now: sparkling conversation, fine food, you, a guest and . . .
Christopher Buckley
Roz Chast
Delia Ephron
Nora Ephron
Malcolm Gladwell
Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
Adam Gopnik
John Lithgow
Anna Deavere Smith
George Stephanopoulos
Ali Wentworth
Best of all? All proceeds from the dinner will go directly to First Book and help put books in the hands of the children who need them most. And who knows? Maybe those books will inspire children in need to become the next generation of authors, journalists, editors, and literary geniuses.
So if you are stumped about what to give that special someone this holiday season . . . think no more! And if you are thinking (even though I just said think no more), “Hey First Book! I can’t afford a $200,000 dinner!” No need to worry . . . you can still support First Book by making a donation through the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book. So just think about it, because it is almost certain that the Algonquin Round Table Experience is more magnificent than Santa’s elves, more memorable than Frosty the Snowman, and probably even more fabulous than Rudolph the Reindeer.
*Final guest list will include at least eight authors committed to donating their time for this wonderful evening, pending scheduling arrangements. Substitutions could occur if unplanned absences become necessary.

I sensed this wouldn’t be just any old press event when three giant cupcake-mobiles came rolling toward us. Only in Dallas and only at the Neiman Marcus debut of its 2009 Christmas Book would such whimsical, over-the-top motorized confections be the norm.
Known for its fantasy gifts and experiences, this year’s Neiman Marcus Christmas Book offers other remarkable forms of transport: the Icon A5 “His and Hers” amphibious aircraft (flying lessons included, good thing); the Mission One electric motorcycle that not only is environmentally correct but also a thing of beauty to behold; and a limited edition Jaguar XJL. As for the Custom Cupcake Cars, these ingenious techno-art vehicles that were introduced at Burning Man™ offer almost as smooth a ride at 7 mph.
Why would someone from First Book be at this press event? First Book is the featured charity in the Christmas Book. When Neiman Marcus gave us the chance to dream up our own literary fantasy, we were excited to come to the table.
Or more accurately, The Algonquin Round Table. We have created a once-in-a-lifetime experience for a generous person who loves books and wants to ensure that all children have that same opportunity.
The Algonquin Hotel is a literary landmark in Manhattan where ninety years ago, Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley and other leading writers and theater people began weekly meals at what became known as the Round Table.
We have created a contemporary Round Table with an astounding guest list of the best and wittiest, including: Christopher Buckley, Roz Chast, Delia Ephron, Nora Ephron, Malcolm Gladwell, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Adam Gopnik, John Lithgow, Anna Deavere Smith, George Stephanopoulos and Ali Wentworth.
The person who takes us up on this offer will enjoy an intimate dinner party with at least eight of these luminaries (though scheduling the actual date may require some changes in the guest list). We are grateful to our friends at The Algonquin Hotel who will provide accommodations and what promises to be a spectacular meal.
This dinner party will have lasting benefit for children in need because First Book will honor the generous purchaser with a donation of 10,000 books in his or her name.
This priceless evening can be yours for $200,000, with all proceeds supporting First Book’s mission. Even Dorothy Parker would approve.
