Dear Old Dad

Is it us, or is it publishers? Because we don’t have nearly as much in our collection on fathers as we do on mothers. Take it as a compliment, dads. Afer all, most of those books about moms are — deservedly or not — about how darned difficult they are. Here’s some of the best (or at least, most current) of what we do have about male parents. Happy Father’s Day.
