                    [Summary] => Giraffe Books is one of our newest publishing houses, yet despite its newness it has become one of the most prestigious. Several very fine books – particularly in the literary field – bear its imprint. Publication by Giraffe is a guarantee of quality.


The remarkable thing about this publishing establishment is that it is a one-man – or rather a one-woman – operation. The owner, director, editor, and everything else is Gloria F. Rodriguez.

Many friends were among the contributors, and it was a happy sight to see them grouped together for firing squad poses, before mingling with the guests who were just as elated over the social occasion as the discounted offering of yet another fine collection of essays on mature circumspection.

With the Americans practically breathing down his neck and a third of Baghdad going up in flames, Mohammed Sayeed al-Sahhaf kept cheerfully announcing to an increasingly incredulous audience that the end was near – the end of the Americans, that is.

Pardon this phobia for saying "best." People cavil a lot in this country. Can’t name any list the best of anything. 	Can’t claim to have read or even laid eyes on every single Filipiniana title, either. We also limit this list to books published here – from among what I’ve seen, browsed through, actually read excerpts of or cover-to-cover, or, hey, even participated in.
