Koyama Press Gift Guide!
It’s that time of year again for best of lists and gift guides. We decided to get into the swing of things at Koyama Press and present our own gift guide. We surveyed some of our cartoonists and asked them what Koyama Press title they thought made the best gift. Here is what they came back with (many couldn’t pick just one!):
