Ok, I haven't actually read any of these books....The Bloke's Guide to Pregnancy and The Bloke's 100 Top Tips for Surviving Pregnancy look mildly interesting, as does The Bloke's Guide to Baby Gadgets (all by Jon Smith; he certainly cranks them out). You might also try Fatherhood: The Truth (Marcus Berkmann) and From Lad to Dad: How to Survive as a Pregnant Father (Stephen Giles).
Unfortunately, all these books have the same childish approach to typography and stupid front cover art, presumably on the grounds that it will be the woman that buys the book and therefore the design must fit with chick-lit.
Let's have a Pregnant Bloke book with a tired shed on the cover, or perhaps a diagram describing the inner workings of a Maxwell engine.
