CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN: Barack Obama's Plan to Renew America's Promise

It has been announced that this title will be published on September 9 by Crown's Three Rivers Press as a paperback with a first printing of 300,000 copies and a list price of US$13.95. (An e-book version will publish the day before at the same price.)

Written by the staff of Obama for America, with a foreword by Barack Obama, Crown says the book "will describe and explain how Senator Obama will change Washington and what that change will mean to the American people."

The second part of the book will collect seven of the candidate's speeches: including the declaration of his candidacy; his victory speech after the Iowa caucus; his speech on race in America; and his address to the people of Berlin.

Obama has a contract with Crown to write two more books, including a children's book.
