Pretty helpful book, but pretty outdated. Could stand to be revised with a newer version.

Good basic information about your baby's first year. Some of the information might seem common sense, but the reason we are reading these kind of books is to have some piece of mind in the most difficult time of our baby's life. Easy to read and mainly a reference book, it fails nevertheless to cover extensively the different treatments for various possible baby's diseases. This book is just an overview of what awaits new fathers (and mothers) in that first year, but it is not a substitute for more detailed and specialized books on the subject.

If you're going to have a kid soon, or have just had one, it might be an interesting read. I don't recommend reading it for insight into how life will change upon the arrival of a child someday.
