I really liked this - and it is really funny besides very informative: Pregnancy Sucks For Men: What to Do When Your Miracle Makes You BOTH Miserable - Paperback (Oct. 7, 2004) by Joanne Kimes and Jeff Kimes

I asked this question yesterday and got some great (and funny!!) recs from the 0-3 ladies. Hope this helps.

My DH liked "The Expectant Father."  It was free from our insurance company, but amazon carries it.

I got my hubs "What to Expect When Your Wife is Expanding".  I read it myself in a couple of days and had a few good laughs.  He's enjoyed reading it, and he keeps telling me that it's pretty accurate.  I think that it presents the info in a funny way while still being informative.

I'm not sure about pregnancy books but a GREAT resource for the actual labor and delivery is "The Birth Partner" by Penny Simkin.  I read this when I started supporting friends in labor and it was great.

One of my husband's guy friends recommended "Alternadad" and "Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads" to him.

My brother-in-law, who is a new father as of July, sent this to my husband and me when we found out we were expecting.     It's called - My Boys Can Swim.  It's funny, short, and has a lot of good stuff in it.

 It made it's way to the machine shop where my husband works and has made it's rounds through the 3 expectant father's there.
