Great gift for any first time parent!  
The info in this book is not only helpful, but also written in a very user friendly way. Everything is well organized and is straight to the point. I enjoyed reading this book cover to cover (unlike other baby books that were given to me that I found too wordy). I recommend this book for anyone that is having a hard time getting their mate to read baby books. The book also includes charts that can be used to track your baby's progress. The other things in this keepsake box are not necessary, but are very nice to have. The instructional poster is not only useful, but also a great conversational piece in the nursery.

Great gift for hipster parents  
I don't know crap about kids. I'm even more clueless about what to get soon-to-be-parents. When a hipster friend of mine with great taste recommended this kit I thought, "Thank God, my baby-gifting needs are taken care of for the foreseeable future". . . and it was so.

I have purchased not one, not two, but SEVEN of these kits over the last 18 months (geez people). The book is very wry, the bonus items clever and useful, what more do you want? Everyone gets a kick out of this thing. My penpal in Oshkosh, my DJ friend in San Francisco, it's a winner.

Fun & Informative  
I gave this as baby shower gift to a close friend of mine. She absolutely loved it. She found it to be chock full of great information. She also said she rather enjoyed the layout, format and manner everything was presented.
Now, don't get me wrong, a newborn is NOT even comparable to anything technical or mechanical. Yet, this book presents good, solid information in a format more akin to simple assembly instructions (e.g. proper diaper application) or elementary computer familiarization (the auditory input unit = ear; simple enough?). This allows the information being given to be acquired more efficiently with better retention making learning more enjoyably.
"Baby Manual" is wonderful tongue & cheeky take on basic baby maintenance and care. I've given book to other expecting friends of mine who were also very pleased and entertained by this little gem. In a sea of overly complicated and emotionally driven infant care & advice books, this one is a humorously informative jaunt of a read during an exciting yet stressful time during one's life.
Have Fun & Good Luck!!

(This reference book, as with ALL reference books, should NEVER EVER be a substitute for information or concerns that can be address by a trained, licensed professional like a DOCTOR...Duh.)
