Add a campaign chapter: attack books
For weeks, \"Unfit for Command\" by John E. O'Neill and Jerome R. Corsi has been at the top of best-seller lists, with about half a million copies now in print. The book, an unrelenting assault on John F. Kerry's Vietnam War record, was published by Regnery, a conservative house based in Washington, and it bumped the memoirs of Bill Clinton and Gen. Tommy Franks from the top spots. Depending on where you draw the line, there are about a dozen of them on The New York Times best-seller list. In recent months, authors of such partisan best sellers have included Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, Michael Moore, Al Franken and many others. So when Moore and O'Reilly sell millions of copies, when Kitty Kelley (author of \"The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty\") gets a multimillion-dollar advance equal to a movie star's, and when \"Unfit for Command\" soars, the only logical response is to up the ante further with even more explosive books, especially when they are protected from restraint or regulation - within the bounds of libel laws - by the First Amendment.

Edible economics : a hungry economist explains the world
\"Bestselling author and economist Ha-Joon Chang makes challenging economic ideas delicious by plating them alongside stories about food from around the world, using the diverse histories behind familiar food items to explore economic theory. For Chang, chocolate is a lifelong addiction, but more exciting are the insights it offers into postindustrial knowledge economies; and while okra makes Southern gumbo heart-meltingly smooth, it also speaks of capitalism's entangled relationship with freedom. Myth-busting, witty, and thought-provoking, Edible Economics serves up a feast of bold ideas about globalization, climate change, immigration, austerity, automation, and why carrots need not be orange. It shows that getting to grips with the economy is like learning a recipe: when we understand it, we can adapt and improve it--and better understand our world.\"--Front book jacket flap.

The Price for Hillary's Hollywood-Style Book
There are consequences to this kind of self-revelation for hire. We place a price on dignity. One of the most spectacular cases of greed was actually pre-emptive. Days after Newt Gingrich's triumph in 1994, seizing the House of Representatives for his \"contract with America\" agenda, he circulated a book proposal. The winning bid was $4 million, before Gingrich was even speaker! As word of the payday spread, so did resistance. Finally Gingrich gave in and settled for receiving only his earnings on the book. But his grasping for gold, I think, was the beginning of his eventual downfall. Memoirs like Mrs. [Betty Ford]'s, Mrs. Carter's, Mrs. Reagan's and Mrs. [Barbara Bush]'s, and presumably now Mrs. Clinton's, are wonderful to read when they are revealing. But in many more ways than one, there is a price to pay for them.Peter Osnos is publisher and chief executive of PublicAffairs, a book company in New York. This is from the Los Angeles Times.
