Moore Doing Two for S&S

by John F. Baker -- Publishers Weekly, 8/23/2004

The documentary filmmaker and author Michael Moore has signed with Simon & Schuster to do two more books before the end of this year: a collection of letters he received from American troops in Iraq after his visit there to make his hit movie Fahrenheit 9/11, and a book to accompany the DVD release of the film, with the full script and some extra material not included in the theatrical release. The deal was made between S&S publisher David Rosenthal and Mort Janklow at Janklow & Nesbit. The book of letters, called Will They Ever Trust Us Again? will be published in November, and will consist of letters sent to Moore by the GIs, many of them via his Web site, along with his commentary on them. The film book, The Official Fahrenheit 9/11 Reader, will appear around the same time, in trade paper.
