HARPERCOLLINS TO RUSH-PUBLISH BENAZIR BHUTTO’S BOOK BY FEBRUARY

December 30th 2007 00:55


The rush is on by HarperCollins to publish in book form the manuscript it recently received from Benazir Bhutto, according to the New York Post.The publisher, a unit of News Corp, hopes to have Bhutto's "Reconciliation: Islam, Democracy and the West" in bookstores by February, Post business columnist Keith J. Kelly reported.
HarperCollins had given Bhutto an estimated $75,000 advance just before she returned to Pakistan in October after years of living in exile, the Post said.
Outspoken and predictably controversial Media Wire Daily reported, “Maybe the bookies at Harper Collins were holding out to see if Benazir Bhutto would have been successful in the Pakistan elections, before releasing the manuscript submitted to them by the slain former Pakistani prime minister in the form of a book.

“Then again like Bhutto herself, they probably knew it was only a matter of time before someone offed her. Now the company is rushing the book to press for no other reason but to catch buzz sales.”
