Posted on September 11, 1998
Pocket Books will publish in a mass market paperback format ($5.99) Whitewater independent counsel Kenneth Starr's report that was sent to Congress, it was announced by Gina Centrello, Pocket Books' president and publisher. The book will be in stores beginning Tuesday, September 15. According to The New York Times, prosecutors said that the report contained "substantial and credible information that may constitute grounds for impeachment" of President Clinton. The 445-page report delivered to Congress includes a 25-page introduction, a 280-page narrative of events, and a 140-page section laying possible grounds for impeachment.
Ms. Centrello said, "after careful consideration we decided that there are indeed many, many people who would like to be fully informed about the situation the President now faces. Our book is for those who want to go beyond the news and read for themselves."
The Pocket Books edition will include an introduction by Phil Kuntz, a Washington D.C. based staff reporter for the Wall Street Journal who has been covering the investigation of President Clinton.
