THE HAYNES BABY MANUAL
The Haynes… What? Baby what?!?
Baby Manual…
For those of you who are not very acquainted with Haynes manuals (much like myself), these are a series of books that are mostly aimed at car maintenance and repairs and DIY.
The Haynes manuals are named after John Haynes (OBE) who wrote and published a manual on building an Austin 7 Special in 1956. Haynes Publishing was founded in 1960 and ... ...subjects.
The baby manual is something very different though. It is aimed at new and expectant fathers with lots of great information about pregnancy, birth and babies from 0 months to 2 years old.

Manufacturer's product description
Taking delivery of a new baby is even more exciting than taking delivery of a new car (at least for most people). It can also be more worrying - after all, if you decide you've made a mistake you can't send the baby back to the factory or trade it in for another one. Conception, pregnancy and birth can nowaddays be associated with some very high-tech equipment, but underneath the monitors and scanner screens the basic process is the same as it ever was (just as the internal combustion engine itself has not changed, despite being surrounded by electronic sensors and control units). This manual gives you what you would expect from Haynes: down-to-earth, step-by-step instructions, written by professionals from practical experience. The manual should help you to: decide when and how to start; keep your cool in the delivery room; maintain baby's bodywork in optimum condition; prevent corrosion of vital parts; understand the on-board diagnostic system; and decide when to call in professional assistance.
