Great Reads for Fathers Day 2016Looking for the perfect Father’s Day gift? Research shows you can’t go wrong with a good book. The latest Omnipoll survey shows that two thirds of Australian men* love relaxing with a great read.

Dymocks has something for all types of dads, from the foodies to footy fans, history buffs to fiction aficionados and even the bloke who’s hard-to-buy-for. Let the well-read dads of Dymocks help you choose the ideal gift for the father, grandpa, uncle or godfather in your life.

Sharyn Villaverde, National Category Manager for Dymocks, says that dads will be spoilt for choice this Father’s Day. “There are so many great new books on offer but if you’re not sure what dad likes to read, thrillers are always a good choice. Two new action packed novels – The Black Widow by Daniel Silva and The Bourne Enigma by Eric Van Lustbader – will have dads on the edge of their seats.”

For foodie fathers, Dymocks recommends Jamie Oliver’s Super Food- Family Classics,and the new Halliday Wine Companion 2017 whilst history fanatics will love 44 Days by Michael Veitch. For the sporty dad looking for escapism, Lonely Planet’s Epic Bike Rides of the World will have him planning his next great adventure.

While cookbooks and fiction titles remain favourites amongst booklovers, biographies are also a popular gift. “With the film release on its way there’s a lot of buzz around Sully by Chesley B Sullenberger – the amazing story of the hero pilot who landed a crippled US Airways Flight on to the Hudson River. The remarkable memoir, Freeing Peter tells the extraordinary true story of how an ordinary Australian family took on the Egyptian government to free Peter Greste from prison.”

Quirky gifts include The Chaser’s Australia and How it Works: The Dad, the latest in the hilarious Ladybird series for grown-ups.

Though Christmas remains one of the busiest times of the year for Dymocks bookstores across the country, the lead up to Father’s Day also sees a big increase in sales in the fiction, sport and cooking genres as people hurry in looking for gift ideas for dad.

“Although these categories remain favourites, our knowledgeable and well-read staff can provide recommendations across all genres to suit every type of dad,” continued Ms Villaverde.
