Niche Nonfiction to Get Your Dad
Niche nonfiction books that dads are still likely to enjoy that either 1) are not military history at all or 2) a niche area of a war that is not military history
Weirdly Specific Nonfiction
Nonfiction on a single, weirdly specific topic
the greatest thing since (or until) sliced bread
More niche nonfiction and microhistories, but this list is focusing on important, memorable, and significant inventions in the world's history. Suggestions welcome!
Can I Offer You a Drink?
A mix of non-fiction on drinking history and culture, and tried-and-true recipe books. I will only add a recipe book to this list if I have personally made three delicious cocktails from it and find the instructions clear and useful. Feel free to share your recs for books I should test and history/culture reads, or hit me up for tips on making drinks at home. Please enjoy responsibly.
