Obama’s plans for ‘change’ to hit bookshelves

HE HAS written million-selling books about his early years and the meaning of public life.

Now, Barack Obama, with the help of his campaign staff, has another side to share with readers: policy work.

Change We Can Believe In: Barack Obama’s Plan to Renew America’s Promise is coming out on September 9 as a paperback with an announced first printing of 300,000 copies and a list price of $13.95 (€9.33).

Crown Publishing Group will publish the book, which will include a foreword by Obama, and feature sections — written by members of Obama for America, his presidential campaign — on such issues as health care, energy and national security.

Change We Can Believe In also compiles some of his better known speeches.

Change will be released by Three Rivers Press, a paperback imprint of Crown Publishing, which published Obama’s Dreams From My Father and The Audacity of Hope.

Financial terms for the book were not disclosed.
