Founded in 1995, RCR Creative Press is an independent publisher specializing in general nonfiction and the highly acclaimed Notes On Series. The first book in the series, Notes on Directing: 130 Lessons in Leadership from the Director's Chair, was a triple award-winner endorsed by Dame Judi Dench, Sir Ian McKellen, Edward Albee, and Sir Tom Stoppard, among others. The second, Notes on Cooking: A Short Guide to an Essential Craft, was to the kitchen what Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style was to composition and grammar, and was endorsed by Daniel Boulud, Jacques Pepin, Lidia Bastianich, and Dan Barber, among others.
The newest title, Notes on Teaching: A Short Guide to an Essential Skill, has been hailed by education experts such as Wendy Kopp, Geoffrey Canada, and Leon Botstein as "useful," "wise," 'funny," and "beautiful."
