Simon & Schuster's Trade Paperback group has announced that the Fireside Books imprint will publish The Official eBay Guide to Buying, Selling, and Collecting Just About Anything, by Laura Fisher Kaiser and Michael Kaiser. The book will feature an introduction by Pierre Omidyar, founder and chairman of eBay. The first printing of 100,000 copies will be available in November for a suggested retail price of $13.

"As we all know, collecting is hot!" said Mark Gompertz, Vice President and Publisher of Simon & Schuster's Trade Paperback group.
