NEW YORK - One of the top chroniclers of the Trump administration, New York Times White House reporter Maggie Haberman, has a book deal.
Penguin Press announced Thursday that the Pulitzer Prize winner’s book, currently untitled, would come out in 2022.
“Maggie Haberman’s book will be an instant classic, a definitive and fascinating account of Donald Trump, his life and his presidency,” Penguin vice president and publisher Scott Moyers said in a statement . “An award winning journalist deeply sourced in Trump World, Maggie has had a front row seat to the last four years and knows as well as anyone the impact it has had on our politics and the country.”
Financial terms were not disclosed. Haberman was represented by the Javelin literary agency, whose other clients include former FBI Director James Comey and former National Security Advisor John Bolton.

GO AWAY!
Penguin Press gave the Obama’s their massive book deal.
I’ll be skipping that one.
Now we know where to buy toilet paper.
The only person who can write the “definitive” book on the life of Donald J Trump is Donald J TYrump himself. I expect he will do just that and by doing this will relegate all the soon to be written garbage by Lib slime seeking to capitalize on their hatred of this man, to the bargain book bin.
I expect Trump’s book to be the best selling book ever published with the exception of the Bible.
Who will be able to count the books coming down the pipeline? I’ll bet even Jeffrey Toobin will get one out.
I think he already did.
Does anyone actually read these books anymore?
Very few, I'd wager. But there are always high sales, and a few hot quotes that get the authors on TV, and plant the seeds for more anti-Trump coverage.
Trump won’t write a book. He will tell the stories in his Rallies, that will make the rallies a big draw.
Penguin Random House is owned by Bertelsmann.
More foreign interference.
They don’t read them even when they do buy them. Public libraries account for a substantial # of copies sold, paid of course with taxpayer’s money. Most of them wind up on the remaindered shelves of Barnes and Noble, marked down to 1/8 the selling price,Hillary’s masterly tome, for example. The gatekeeper Bob Woodward’s books “suffer” the same fate, if you can call the paid-in-advance bogus (NYT, of course) best-seller list syndrome “suffering”. They look good though, with their stark book jacket art,sitting imposingly on the coffee table. But they too are bought more than actually read. Those that buy out of their own wallets do it as an act of virtue-signalling and a bid for “confidence”. Michelle Obama’s worthless piece of self-promotion will prove to be probably as good an example of this as any, when all the stats finally roll in.
In certain circles, one buys it, reads the first few pages, shares a photo on social media of it being read and/or brags at a cocktail party that it is simply the most brilliant thing ever, then puts it on the shelf never to be finished.
IOW, no. Even the target audience doesn’t really give a crap. It’s a form of virtue signaling.

When it hits the Dollar Store within a month or two, I’ll decide the second time not to buy it.
