BERKELEY, CA. June 13, 2005 -- Fair Shake Press, an imprint of Pearson Education (NYSE:PSO), announced today The Book for Guys Who Don't Want Kids by Scott Kelby (0-321-33428-0; $11.99). Ideal for men who have just found out they are expecting or for current fathers who have been reluctant to get with the program, this book offers a moving and entertaining essay on overcoming the common fears associated with fatherhood, and shows dads how to enthusiastically embrace parenting.

With the mommy madness culture now booming, the necessity for the modern dad to share responsibilities is becoming increasingly apparent, and in The Book for Guys Who Don't Want Kids, Scott Kelby shows how rewarding this can be. Scott was a regular guy with a happy marriage who "absolutely, positively didn't want kids." He feared that having a child would mean giving up way too much, but when he had his own son, everything changed. Scott shares both his own experiences and those of his friend, who -- thanks to Scott -- made the switch from being an extremely reluctant father-to-be into a devoted dad. While moving through touching and sometimes hilarious topics, such as "Making the Baby Your Own," "Dealing with Dirty Diaper Syndrome," and "Ten Things that Will Help You Be a Great Dad," Scott uncovers the true adventure and joy of becoming not just a dad, but an equal participant in parenting.

In addition to being a great dad, Scott Kelby was the #1 best-selling computer book author in 2004 (according to research based on Nielsen BookScan data), with top-selling titles such as The Adobe Photoshop CS Book for Digital Photographers.
