A Welcome Addition to the Fatherhood Bookshelf
In his introduction to The Book of Dads, editor Ben George recounts the difficulty he had in finding books on fatherhood that had anything interesting or substantial to say. His wife had been reading Annie Lamott's Operating Instructions over the course of their baby's first year and felt an epiphany in its humour and honesty. The search for a similar experience, but for dads, was not fruitful.
