Best Bible to give Dad
Bibles for fathers — durable leather, readable type, and study notes for the long haul.
The short answer
For a father, a leather (or premium leather-look) Bible in NIV or ESV with comfort-print type and a thumb-index is the safe, generous choice. Add a study edition if he's a regular reader.

What's a good Bible for a 60-year-old man?
Large-print or giant-print ESV or NIV in leather. Comfort print and a thumb-index make a real difference.
