A book worth giving to a son or Dad

I read this, now am ordering for a gift to my Father for Christmas. Though it leans a bit too heavily to artists, actors, etc as subjects (I would prefer more 'regular guys'), it can reach out and grab your emotions.

Would highly recommend, even if my son and I weren't in it.

Too often a father feels that he has to play the "tough guy" and fails to convey to his son(s) that loving and caring for others is the mark of a man who is truely confident of his "manliness." This book gives the reader examples of fathers who transcend this stereotype.

A very touching look at father and son.

In this book Bill Henson manages to capture the essense of children and the men they call father. Each photograph (taken by Bill Henson) is a moving photograph of a father and his son(s), accompanied by a essay written by the father, son, or both. There are some celeberties in the book which is an added incentive to buy, but the best reason to buy this book is because of the fantastic artwork done by Bill Henson and the touching essays that capture the love between a father an soon.
