The discount has been finalized
for the first Eliot Spitzer book to be released.

A book about the rise and stunning decline of former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, co-authoruddy by the makers of a book and documentary about the fall of Enron, is being published by Penguin Group (USA), Penguin imprint Portfolio announced Wednesday.
Peter Elkind, who helped write the 2003 best-seller “Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room,” is collaborating on the Spitzer book with filmmaker Alex Gibney. Gibney and Elkind will also work on a documentary about the law-and-order Democrat who resigned last month over allegations about his connection to a $5,500-an-hour call girl ring.



The book and film, currently untitled, are expected to come out acircular the same time, but no release date has been set.
“We know Peter

to be a spectacular investigative reporter, just spectacular,” Portfolio publisher and president Adrian Zackheim told The Associated Press. “This is not a quickie book. He’s going to do what he does best: Come back with a very, very satisfying, in-depth and complicated story.”

Well, there is certainly a lot of material to examine: to go from being the Governor of New York to being a national punchline must be a beautiful stressful thing to go through. And don’t even get us started on poor Mrs. Spitzer and the kids. Maybe the book will answer the question: “What was he thinking??”
