News reports that Sarah Palin is planning a separate Christian version of her forthcoming memoir, Going Rogue, are false, according to her publisher, HarperCollins. The reports were so widely circulated that they appear to have caused confusion at Zondervan, a Christian publisher owned by HarperCollins, where the director of publicity said yesterday that a special Christian edition of the book had been planned but was scrapped because of the expedited timetable for the book's release.
Reports about a special Christian edition of Palin's memoir included a long Vanity Fair profile on Palin last summer, which said that her memoir was to be published "not only by HarperCollins but also in a special edition by Zondervan, the Bible-publishing house, that may include supplemental material on faith."
Politico has reported on the possibility of "a slight addition on faith for the Zondervan edition," and bloggers have speculated on what information a separate Christian edition would include.
Instead, Zondervan will copublish the same version of Palin's memoir and distribute it to Christian booksellers. "We always said Zondervan was codistributing the book, but it's the same book" as the one HarperCollins imprint Harper is publishing, says Tina Andreadis, a HarperCollins spokeswoman.
Originally set to be published next spring, Harper recently moved the release date for Palin's memoir up to November 17 to take advantage of current interest in the former Alaska governor.

Ping!
The director of publicity at Zondervan actually said there was once a “special Christian edition” planned? With what kind of content, pray tell? Sounds suspicious to me.
What is a “Christian version”?
Whoever misreported that rumor was obviously trying to imply that there would be special content "appealing" to Christians.
So what if there was?
Who reads Vanity Fair anymore?
Maybe it’s written in King James English? Numbered paragraphs?
“... ‘appealing’ to Christians”
... Because Christians are too dumb and/or limited to be interested in a political biography about the most compelling national candidate in decades? LOL!
Vanity Fair, a collection of fags and liberal jews, undermining America on a regular basis.
“What is a ‘Christian version’?”
It’s the same as a standard version, only with a few Thous, Sayeths, and Smotes thrown in. Also, some stuff about how bad gay sex is.
Look, Vanity Fair is the Homosexual’s bully pulpit. The homosexual mafia use this platform to spread their disease of lies and falsehoods.
...plus the fire and brimstone.
You have to wonder, do they know what a Vanity Fair is? Do they know where the term comes from? And why would they associate themselves with it? They could very well have a good reason, or as a good a reason as I have for loving the convenience, if not the luxury, of modern civilization. But I doubt they’ve given it any thought.
My question exactly.
Suppressing sales wouldn't work with me, I'd buy both versions.
I think their mag is going broke and out of business. I hate it.
