Reply to comment by DeaneTR in My dad dedicated his book to me. Should I read it even though it's not my cup of tea? by Rinoalbering

Alll this, but also, see if you can find a review of the book in an academic journal (JSTOR has really opened up access to stuff since the pandemic).

Dropping something like “x person said something nice about your book in this journal” would probably make his year.

This would also be a good way of taking an interest in the work and what he does that doesn’t involve reading a list of stuff about bugs.

Or even better research all the bug experts who named bugs they discovered after family members and say how come all these people got bugs named after 'em but all I got was a book dedication? :-)
