Outskirts Press Announces The Accidental Teacher, the Latest Highly-Anticipated Education / General Book from Santa Cruz, CA Author Eric Mandel
Santa Cruz, CA, November 02, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published The Accidental Teacher by Eric Mandel, which is the author's most recent book to date. The 5.5 x 8.5 Paperback cream in the Education / General category is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble for a suggested retail price of $14.95. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/AccidentalTeacher was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
The Accidental Teacher is a humorous and provocative account of the author’s experience teaching English in a California public high school with absolutely no qualifications, training or previous experience. Equal parts McCourt’s Teacher Man and Kesey’s Cuckoo’s Nest with a dash of Sedaris and a shot of Hunter Thompson, the story follows Mr. Mandel as he muddles through his first year, mangling metaphors and alienating administrators while attempting to engage a very difficult group of teenagers.
From his outsider’s perspective, Mr. Mandel provides pointed commentaries on the troubling issues facing public education and poignant accounts of his students’ lives and his own personal journey; frequent digressions offer literary allusions from the subtle to the ludicrous. The author displays a wry sense of humor as he struggles to counter administrative absurdities, to appease his own Nurse Ratchet, and to compensate for his own deficiencies.
The Accidental Teacher is certain to entertain and interest anyone who has taught, wants to teach, cares about public education, or dreams of changing careers late in life.
Deftly constructed at 337 pages, The Accidental Teacher is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Education / General category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, The Accidental Teacher meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $14.95.
Additionally, The Accidental Teacher can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press wholesale online bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/buybooks
ISBN: 9781432744861 Format: 5.5 x 8.5 Paperback cream SRP: $14.95
