Canseco update:

January 22, 2008

The publisher-to-be-named-later for Vindicated has been announced. And the award goes to:

Simon Spotlight, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, who expects the book to be released in time for opening day.

According to an item in today’s New York Times,

Jennifer Bergstrom, publisher of Simon Spotlight, said Bret Saxon, Canseco’s book agent, called her last Tuesday after Berkley decided not to go forward. Bergstrom asked to see the manuscript exclusively, and within 48 hours of reading it, Bergstrom had signed a deal. Asked whether the book would be controversial, she said, “Absolutely.” She added that the problems with the earlier deal that fell through “surprised me a little bit, but it didn’t scare us.”
