We got What to Expect When You're Expecting and What to Expect the First Year from our insurance (Blue Shield) both of which came in handy. We also had about half-a-dozen other books from friends that were ok, but not really necessary. The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips and Advice for Dads-To-Be was a decent read. It had some good tips about planning financially and I particularly liked the comics. Browse this one first though.
When your kid starts eating solids, I highly suggest Ruth Yaron's Super Baby Food. We got a lot of use out of it (still use it) and learned how to make yoghurt from milk to boot.
