I bought my hubby 'He's Having a Baby' by Jack O'Sullivan, which is brilliant! We've ended up reading it together and it's a great read, funny, informative and really sweet in places. Davina McCall wrote the foreword for it too. xx

I like "The Expectant Father" by Armin Brott, but I guess that's more of a pregnancy book...

My MIL got DH "The new father: a dad's guide to the first year" by Armin Brott for his birthday. He did sit down and read some of it and said it was quite good.
She also got him "A new dad's survival guide" by Scott Mactavish - DH couldn't stomach this one, said the language was too American (all dipers and passifiers) and very dumbed down for his taste. I had a quick look at this one and it was more like reading a light hearted magazine than an information book, so it depends on personal taste I think.
