My DH has enjoyed The expectant dad's handbook by Dean Beaumont, he read it about three times during my pregnancy! It had a lot of stuff in about what was going on with me, not just baby.
DD is 2 weeks old and so far he's loving every minute of fatherhood :-)

DH loves his Commando Dad book! I can't remember the author but a quick google search should point you in the right direction Smile

The Expectant Dad's Survival Guide by Rob Kemp is really good. My husband is enjoying it and I also think it's great, really straight talking and funny as hell in places. Think most people would get on well with it.

My hubby got given the Haynes Manual of babies by his friend and he loves it! Not sure how useful it is but it's entertaining!
