Father’s Day is this Sunday and the Press is celebrating with a sale.  Now through June 18th, you can save 25 percent on books dad will love.
Have a sports fan in the family?  Score a homerun with On a Clear Day They Could See Seventh Place: Baseball's Worst Teams by George Robinson and Charles Salzberg.  Give dad a winning novel about baseball’s biggest losers.  This book tells the stories of the 1935 Boston Braves and their record-breaking losing percentage and the 1904 Washington Senators and their star player, who took a deadly dive off Niagara Falls.  More than scores and statistics, Robinson and Salzberg share the scandals and the secrets of baseball’s least celebrated teams.
Have a history buff in your family?  Then give dad The Age of the Ship of the Line: The British and French Navies, 1650-1815 by Jonathan R. Dull.  Share the history of the British and French navies and their nearly 200-year long domination of the seas.  Dad can read about their shipbuilding programs, the battles, the diplomacy, and of course, the drama of naval conflict.  Dull gives an impartial account of both navies in this comprehensive report that will captivate all who study and enjoy history. 
Have a food and wine aficionado?  Make your dad’s mouth water with Barolo by Matthew Gavin Frank.  Give your dad the gift of a culinary exploration through Italy.  Travel with Frank as he spends six months immersing himself in small-town Italian life. Meet the families, the farmers, and the chefs who call Italy’s Barolo region home.  Take the time this father’s day to appreciate two of life’s greatest pleasures: food and family.  
Whichever genre of book dad likes, the Press can help you find the gift that can be appreciated over and over again.  Don’t forget to enter the code 6FD10 in the discount code field of your shopping cart and click "update" when ordering.  Have a happy Father’s Day from the University of Nebraska Press.
