Publisher's Weekly reports that Fortune magazine writer, Peter Elkind, is publishing an Eliot Spitzer book. The New York Post has more details about the book which will be similar to Elkind's previous book about Enron, The Smartest Guys in the Room.
The proposal that agent Liz Darhansoff has been shopping on the rise and fall of Eliot Spitzer has found a home. After PW reported last week that the book-to-be, by Fortune magazine (and Smartest Guys in the Room) writer Peter Elkind, was starting off at a base price of $350,000, expected winner Portfolio has closed the deal.A book deal was closed about Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP-MorganChase. Penned by Duff McDonald and based on a piece in New York magazine.
S&S senior editor Colin Fox bested four other houses in an auction for Duff McDonald’s untitled book on Jamie Dimon; David Kuhn sold world rights. Derived from a cover piece McDonald wrote for New York magazine last month, the book will look at the career of the JP-MorganChase CEO—from protégé, then castoff, of Citigroup’s Sandy Weill, to Wall Street legend at age 52—to tell the tumultuous story of Wall Street’s boom and bust over the past 20 years. McDonald is also a contributing editor at Condé Nast’s Portfolio; S&S pub date is September 2009.
