recommend a "dad" book for DH

I want to get him a book about fatherhood for Christmas, but the selection at Borders here is leaving a lot to be desired.  Is there anything you (or your husband) would recommend?

They have what to expect for fathers just like the waht to expect when you are expecting....  i know target has a couple of cute ones too even though its not a book store..... maybe try barnes and nobles, or if you want a christian book berean bookstores too

    My husband just read "The Guys Guide to Surviving Pregnancy, Childbirth and the First Year of Fatherhood."  He liked it a lot, wrote by a man, speaks to men, was funny too.

    The Expectant Father is a good one...DH likes it so far.  Its DEFINATELY written from a man's perspective and I personally think its better for a first time parent (as we are) because some of the stuff seems really basic, but DH is totally clueless so its good for him.

    I made the mistake of getting the Father to Be Everything Guide. It was full of advice like putting the baby in the back seat of a two seater car (umm... they seats don't go that way).

    I got my husband "The Expectant Father" and he thinks there is a lot of great information in there.

    My H likes "Dad's Pregnant Too!"  He reads that while I read my books

    My DH and I have been reading "Fathers at Birth" by Rose St. John.  It's a very empowering book for the father.  Book was just published, so it's only available on Barnes & Noble online and I think pre-order through amazon.
