Ditch the Tie and Give your Dad a Meaningful Father's Day; Here is How

May 12, 2011 - PRLog -- With Fathers Day approaching just around the corner, don't wait until the last minute to get dad a great gift. You'll be bombarded with cologne and other traditional gifts that honestly, does he really need another cologne or tie to sit around and collect dust?

Men of all ages will appreciate gifts like books. Not just any book but a book that says "I thought about you and this is meaningful".

For the man who loves motivational readings that would help his career (or get a career) or who has struggled a bit, the book "Journey Through Risk and Fear" with Bernie Parent, would be great. Parent, Hall of Fame Flyer Goalie is also a great author to read for the sports-minded dad.
Another perk - if you go to Parent's website, you can get the collectible hard cover edition that is limited in supply and, you can get an autographed book as well!

Have a dad that loves to cook? One with a sense of humor? How about a dad who wants to be (or wants to enhance) his inner Italian? Johnny Meatballs Decarlo, star of VH1, brings you "My Big Friggin' Book", filled with fun anecdotes, lessons on how to be a "New Jersey Italian-American" and of course, a ton of recipes that are "man-friendly".

For the man who loves a good fiction, "The Eternals", written by male breast cancer survivor and world traveler, John Schneider, is sure to whet his appetite. Almost 400 pages of ancient doctrine challenged with modern science and science fiction woven in between; a true fiction that inspires and intrigues even the most deep-thinker.

All in all, when choosing a book for dad, the important thing to remember is that you may be buying him a collectible, a good read, a reference or a combination of the three.. but it should reflect his style. Just think of how he'll feel when he opens the gift and knows you put thought into it.

All books are available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, however, the hard cover limited edition "Journey Through Risk and Fear" from Bernie Parent, is available at www.bernieparent.net

All books are on facebook as well in groups to mingle with fans and authors!
