The Best Books To Gift The Men In Your Life 2023

Books may not seem like the most thrilling gifts to give on first glance, but when you really stop to think about it, they make perfect presents, particularly for the men in your life.

One doesn’t have to be a bookworm or avid reader to appreciate the gift of a good book.

Considering Father’s Day is coming up quick (it’s on September 3 this year), a good book that whoever you are celebrating is sure to get lost in is always a good bet for a gift.

Outside of gripping novels and inspiring biographies (our go-to for the dads and granddads in our lives) there are helpful guides and how-to’s for hobbyists, limited edition collections for those with unique interests and even just great coffee table books for the man who dabbles in interior design.

From sport deep dives to best-sellers, we’ve found the best paperbacks and hardcovers to gift every man in your life.
