After spending 10 years in the publishing industry I’ve read a lot of books.
Some good, some not so good.
We put together a list of the top ~100 books for dads.
We have fiction, non-fiction, funny, not-funny, the whole gambit.
Have a book you want to add to the list? Please contact us and we’ll review it and possibly add it to the list.
