Harper US inks Wall Street Journal deal
From The Bookseller, 10.11.08

Journalists from the Wall Street Journal will write books for HarperCollins US across a variety of subjects after the companies signed a three year partnership deal.

Both HarperCollins and Dow Jones, which publishes the Wall Street Journal, are owned by News Corp. The program will be overseen by Steve Ross, group president of the Collins Group, and Alan Murray, deputy managing editor at the Wall Street Journal.

The titles will only be published in the US as part of the agreement. The first book, The Wall Street Journal Guide to the End of Wall Street As We Know It: What You Need to Know About the Greatest Financial Crisis of Our Time – And How to Survive It by Dave Kansas, will be published by Collins Business in January 2009.

Collins Business will also publish The Wall Street Journal Guide to Management in early 2010.

Does their first title have the longest book title you have ever come across?
