Libby case turned into book following verdict

[brooklynite]

It took the jury 10 days to find I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby guilty of four counts of perjury. Now New York publisher Union Square Press will take just a little longer than that to put out an instant book on the controversial case, in which the former top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney was accused of lying to federal agents and grand jurors investigating the outing of an undercover CIA operative.

Union Square plans to have at least 75,000 paperback copies of The United States v. I. Lewis Libby in bookstores before the end of April, according to Editorial Director Philip Turner.

The book will consist of court transcripts and original reporting by Murray Waas, who has been covering the trial for the Washington, D.C., publication National Journal. Mr. Waas will also write an introduction.

1. Great!

I bought the Isikoff & Corn book, which is good. But I'm far more interested in a book by Murray Waas.
