Financier and philanthropist George Soros is dissecting the current credit crisis in a new book for PublicAffairs. Released first in digital form, The New Paradigm for Financial Markets: The Credit Crisis of 2008 and What It Means, will be released as an exclusive e-book on April 3 before bowing in print on May 19. The e-book will be available for download at Amazon and other online bookstores and, as a pdf, at www.publicaffairsbooks.com.

Speaking to the unique publication approach, Peter Osnos, founder and editor at large of PublicAffairs, said it was an issue of timing and that "getting information to people fast is critical to the future of publishing.”
