The Manager Edition
A Revolution you can’t afford to miss,
at a Price You Can't Turn Down
The bookshelves of the modern manager groan under the collective weight of a library of condescending fables and antiquated lies. But take heart- the last management book you'll ever need is available now, and at a price a manager can afford.
The Undercover (Front/Back)
Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover
There's a reason that The Art of Demotivation is prefaced with a stark warning. Though it has the power to transform your organization into a paragon of productivity and your haughty employees into humble extensions of your own managerial ambitions, it also has the potential, should it fall into the wrong hands, to provoke lawsuits and incite riots.
To help protect your investment and potentially your life, our Manager edition ships complete with the Undercover™, a built-in cloaking device. This secondary dust-jacket claims to house a non-existent book called Ethics, Integrity and Sacrifice in the Workplace. This will render the book virtually invisible to your employees, who have no interest in such subjects.
The Manager Edition Features
• The entire text of the landmark book The Art of Demotivation™
• 18 illustrations by Kevin Sprouls, Creator of the Wall Street Journal Portrait Technique
• The Undercover™, a cloaking device to protect your book from the prying eyes of underlings
• American craftsmanship
• A price you can afford
Wisdom, Illustrated
Despair commissioned Kevin Sprouls, creator of the Wall Street Journal’s signature portrait technique, to illustrate over a dozen Demotivators® in his classical dot-stipple style.
Don’t take our word for it
The book that left most critics speechless.
A Commitment to Quality
Made in America, Because We Care
Most business books purport to sell solutions to the problems faced in the American workplace. Yet in an astonishing hypocrisy, the majority of such works are printed overseas! At Despair, we believe American readers deserve books they can read with a clean conscience, just as American printers deserve jobs. That's why we printed our Manager edition right here in the U.S.A.!
Booksellers, Rejoice
