Good book for DH?

Tonight my DH asked if I knew of a good pregnancy book for HIM to read. I have the Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy for myself, but he doesn't want something that big.  I asked specifically what he is looking to find out.  He said he doesn't know anything (first child for either of us) except what I tell him, and wants something to help him with both me and the pregnancy.  I update him weekly on how baby is developing that week, and of course he gets to hear all about my symptoms.
So, not much to go on, but do any of you have any suggestions?  I'm 14 weeks 2 days.
Thanks in advance

My husband is reading "The Expectant Father".  I am not sure of the author, but we found it at our bookstore in the pregnancy section.  He is really enjoying it.  It is nice too, because it goes into how he may be feeling and what he can do and not always just about me and the baby.  He has really enjoyed it.

I found an excellent one that I bought for my DH.  It's called "Your Pregnancy for the father-to-be"  Its written by Dr. Glade B. Curtis and Judith Schuler, M.S.

Its really really good.  It talks about everything thats happening, in terms of how he can support you, but also how it may be making him feel, etc.  It also goes through the pregnancy trimester by trimester, explaining the changes etc. DH liked how it very specifically addressed the expectant fathers concerns as well.  This is also our first child, and this book has been really good for him.

I hope he enjoys.  Take care.
