For the Dad Who Wants Nothing

What Do You Buy the Dad Who Wants Nothing... and Already Has Everything?

THIS. A funny book about everything that makes him Dad.

For the Dad Who Wants Nothing is a funny, illustrated field guide to classic dad behavior. Inside are short, humorous entries about the things dads do, translations of their favorite sayings, unwritten dad rules, everyday “achievements,” and a quiz to test his dad credentials.

If your dad has a favorite chair, guards the thermostat like it’s Fort Knox, and occasionally watches movies with his eyes closed, this book will feel suspiciously personal.

Inside, you'll find:

• The Dad Dictionary: Decode “Ask your mother,” “Leave it with me,” and the suspiciously hopeful-sounding “We’ll see.”
• Dad Logic: Why a perfectly good cardboard box must be saved—and why his way of loading the dishwasher is the correct way.
• Dad’s Sacred Spaces: The chair nobody else should sit in, the garage only he understands, and the barbecue nobody should interfere with.
• Dad Achievements: Reversing a trailer perfectly, finding the ideal parking spot, and other accomplishments the family will hear about for years.
• The Official Dad Quiz: Fifteen questions to discover just how Dad he really is.

Short sections and illustrations make it easy to open anywhere and enjoy a few pages at a time. He can read an entry over coffee, share a passage with the family, or point out which parts definitely don’t apply to him.

Especially the accurate ones.

Behind the teasing is plenty of affection for the sayings, habits, and little quirks that make him Dad. It celebrates the man his family knows and loves, right down to the chair nobody else should sit in.

A funny, personal gift for Father’s Day, birthdays, or Christmas, when “I don’t need anything” is all you have to work with.
