Explaining the moves, Adrian Zackheim, publisher of the Penguin business imprint Portfolio, said,
Nobody wants to be second, third or fourth…You are either first or you get lost in the pack, or you have to come after all the other titles and have a different take.
However, two Madoff books have already been published,
- Catastrophe: The Story of Bernard L. Madoff, The Man Who Swindled the World by Gerald Strober and Deborah Strober (Phoenix Books, Paperback – Mar 2, 2009)
- Madoff: Corruption, Deceit, and the Making of the World’s Most Notorious Ponzi Scheme by Peter Sander (The Lyons Press; Paperback, March 24, 2009)
Neither one is turning over rapidly in libraries.
