EVERY TOOL’S A HAMMER

Adam Savage

Adam is the genius behind Chewbacca’s bandolier and a thousand-shot Nerf gun. Now he’s sharing his wisdom to train the next generation of inventors. With this practical guide, your dad will be inspired to become a creator himself (maybe).

Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø

For a dad who loves a pint, 500 of the world’s best brewers reveal the surprising destinations where he can savour his next beer. With 1,600 listings in more than 70 countries, he’s certainly not going to be short of choice.

AS GOOD AS IT GETS

Romesh Ranganathan

Comedian Romesh has met the realities of adulthood – and it’s not quite as he had imagined. Could he save his family in a crisis? Has he got the skills to assemble flatpack furniture? Is he too old for streetwear? (Probably). Every dad can relate to Romesh, and this book proves it.
