Gift for dads, brothers, uncles, male in-laws and other hard to buy for men

I saw one of the Haynes Man Manuals in a bookshop the other day and thought it was great. It is presented exactly as a Haynes workshop manual for cars, but is actually a book all about mens health. It seems like an ideal way to get men to take in interest in looking after themselves and has all the info needed to look out for things like testicular cancer.

Sorry, but I don't know how to paste a little picture of it here which is a shame as it looks great.

It has an rrp of £12.99, but the cheapest place to get it seems to be the Book Depository at £8.40 with free delivery. I have never tried them myself, but here is the link

I bought it from Amazon at £8.57 with free delivery if you spend £15 or get the Helmann's sandwich book and use the code - see freebies thread)

Otherwise DVD.co.uk has it for £9.09 with free delivery http://www.dvd.co.uk/product2_1859609317.asp

    I don't know why this thread has been moved here where it is less likely to be seen!!

    Anyway, just reporting back to say that I have received my Man Manual from Amazon this morning - with the free sandwich book. I have just been sitting here reading it - it is very funny and informative at the same time. This one is for my Dad, but I am now tempted to buy a couple more for my Father-in law and husband as well.
