Publishers Cool on Bush Memoirs

| No Comments

"Take your time." that's what they're telling him...if there's justice in the world he'll be able to take that time in a federal prison!

(From The Progress Report)
ADMINISTRATION -- PUBLISHERS HAVE LITTLE INTEREST IN PUBLISHING BUSH'S MEMOIR: President Bush has reportedly expressed interest in writing a memoir of his White House years soon after he leaves office. However, the Associated Press reported yesterday that a number of publishers have a suggestion for Bush: "Take your time." "If I were advising President Bush, given how the public feels about him right now, I think patience would probably be something that I would encourage," said Paul Bogaards, executive director of publicity for Alfred A. Knopf, which released Bill Clinton's "My Life" in 2004. "Certainly the longer he waits, the better," says Marji Ross, president and publisher of the conservative Regnery Publishing. When Bush finally gets a book deal, other publishes say that he will probably not see the amount of money past presidents have received. "I don't think Bush can get the kind of money Clinton did if only because the foreign rights interest will be considerably less," says Jonathan Karp, of Hachette Book Group USA.
