Suggestions for Father's Day

Father's Day is June 19th this year. We have already begun thinking about the gifts that fathers might like to receive. You can see our suggestions and wish lists below.

At both entrances to the store, on the lower level between the coffeeshop and the Children's Department and on the round table by the information desk, we have a display of the biggest and best Father's Day card selection in town. Please come in the store to browse and choose the ones that are best for the fathers in your life! 

Here, we offer a list of books that we have loved, and that we think the important fathers in your life will enjoy. This is just a sample of the many titles available—please ask one of the booksellers for more suggestions. Click the titles for more information about each book. 

We would also like to draw your attention to two perfect Father's Day gifts. The first is our new Father’s Day Gift Bag. We’ve selected ten exceptional books that we think are perfect for dads. To tailor the gift for the father or grandfather in your life, pick any five books that you know he’ll love from these ten selections. In addition, you can choose either a Politics & Prose canvas tote bag or a P&P baseball cap. Click here for more information!

The second is our Book-a-Month Gift Program. With our help, you can easily give the gift of carefully hand-selected books for your father all year round. When you talk with our gift program coordinator, Elizabeth Sher, you can design the selections to your budget and your father's reading preferences, interests, hobbies, and favorite writers, so that you can benefit from our booksellers' knowledge and skill throughout the year! We are happy to call or e-mail the gift recipient to discuss book selections and areas of literary interest. Click here for more information!
