From The Times
BHUTTO BOOK COULD BE UNEXPECTED BESTSELLER
It looks as if HarperCollins may have an unexpected bestseller on its hands in the new year.
The publisher had just taken delivery of the manuscript for a new book by Benazir Bhutto prior to her assassination on Boxing Day.
HarperCollins had intended to publish the book, entitled Reconciliation: Islam, Democracy and the West, later this year but now it is now rushing to get it into print as quickly as possible.
The book, part political treatise and part memoir of the first woman elected Prime Minister of a Muslim country, could appear on shelves, in the US at least, as early as next month.
HarperCollins, which is owned by News Corp (also owner of The Times), is thought to have paid Ms Bhutto an advance of about $75,000 immediately before she returned to Pakistan to campaign for election in October after years of living in exile.
