More Michael Moore

Simon & Schuster announced a deal for two new books from best-selling author and creator of documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 Michael Moore.“Will They Ever Trust Us Again?” is a collection of letters written by American troops serving in Iraq sent to Mr. Moore. That book will be ready for release in hardcover this November.The publisher will also bring out a trade paperback companion to Mr. Moore’s hit film, “The Official Fahrenheit 9/11 Reader.” The companion will include a transcript of the movie, along with promising “supplementary material not included in the final cut of the movie.”It will be released in conjunction with the DVD of Fahrenheit 9/11, also scheduled for later this year. Publisher of the Simon & Schuster imprint, David Rosenthal, acquired the projects from agent Mort Janklow at Janklow & Nesbit. The house made the winning bid for rights earlier this summer, but details were just finalized recently.As with many things involving Mr. Moore, the deal itself is rather unusual, since he is already under contract with Warner Books, publisher of his book “Dude, Where’s My Country?” He is working on what has been described as a loose memoir, bought as part of a reported $3 million package in 2002.Warner is said to have passed on the book of letters from Iraq, and was prevailed upon to release Mr. Moore from the traditional obligation to make the book he still owes them his next publication.ReganBooks, publisher of Mr. Moore’s “Stupid White Men” before he moved to Warner, enjoyed the experience so much that earlier this summer they published Jason Clarke and David T. Hardy’s “Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man.”
