• If your dad loves to talk about the time he was in a jazz band in high school or a country he traveled to as a child, chances are there is a great book he can read and reminisce.
• Does your father have a favorite drink? There is a book that celebrates the collecting and tasting of every wine or spirit.
• Is your father not a native English-speaker? Find a book in his native language to show him that his heritage is important to you. Visit Abebooks en Espanol for Spanish book ideas.
• What is your father's favorite movie? Many of the greatest movies of all time are based on books. [Fall Books on Film]
• Did your father read a special story to you as a child? Pass the memory on by finding a first edition he can read to his grandchildren. [Children's Books]
• If your father is planning a trip this year, travel guides make excellent gifts. Travellers have been spinning fascinating stories for centuries. Find a book that tells a story about a place he's visited. And don't forget about field guides covering animals, fish or birds of different countries.
• Does your dad have a fascination with a certain subject? Coffee table books of photographs celebrate any topic and make excellent gifts.
