As expected, Glenn Beck will publish The Jefferson Lies after Barton sells the 17,000 copies he bought back from Thomas Nelson. Simon and Schuster is in partnership with Beck to distribute the book.

“Their reputation is more important than the few — and I do mean few — sales they’ll receive from this book”
I very much doubt the name “Simon and Schuster’ will appear anywhere in the new print. They will simply distribute it and take their cut of the sales without any sort of endorsement.
While I’m not surprised that Beck would back the publishing of Barton’s mess of a book, I’m shocked by Simon and Schuster. If S&S thinks that the controversy surrounding the errors in the book equals $ales then I think they’re mistaken. Their reputation is more important than the few — and I do mean few — sales they’ll receive from this book — especially after so many pointing out Barton’s egregious errors.
Beck said on GBTV with Barton yesterday that his company “Mercury One” will print Barton’s book not Simon and Schuster.

Hopefully Beck’s editors will better than Nelson
Wow, I find it interesting that you didn’t point out that Glenn made it very clear to David that he is willing to publish the book, but that he wants David to give answers to 23 points in the book that you and others have pointed out that are incorrect before he will do so. David made it clear that he is dedicated to the truth and is open to taking something out if it is proven he is incorrect.
the other publisher dropped him so he got a favor from his rich friend who also happens to own a publishing company. quelle surprise.
James,
You know they will. Beck crowned with the “historian” title. No one else would based on his previous work.

I see S&S distributes Glenn trash, so they obviously see a fast buck here. I just hope they don’t call it “history.”
Looks like S&S is the gears and Mercury one in the facade. There was no other way S&S would put their name on this. But they won’t mind collecting production costs.

Simon and Schuster should be ashamed of itself.
