A Clutch Of Crisis Books

In a flurry of deals, publishers have signed at least three journalists to write about the financial crisis and its aftermath, adding to the works in progress by analyst Barry Ritholtz and writer William Cohan. According to Publishers Weekly, advances for the recent deals are rumored to range from the high six figures to over $1 million. Due dates aren’t yet set in some cases, but most of the books should hit stores by 2010. –Ben Levisohn
