LOL
Now the former Los Angeles Times and Dow Jones reporter has written a book, "Off the Record," that criticizes journalists as lazy. Oh, and by the way, Leopold says he engaged in "lying, cheating and backstabbing," is a former cocaine addict, served time for grand larceny, repeatedly tried to kill himself and has battled mental illness his whole life.
But the book's publisher, Rowman & Littlefield, has canceled "Off the Record" days before it was to go to press, despite having sent out news releases and listed the book on Amazon.com. The publisher acted after receiving a warning letter from one subject's lawyer.
"I'm devastated," Leopold said yesterday. "I worked really hard these past two years to restore my credibility after the Salon fiasco. . . . I have a checkered past, and I was hoping that by coming clean about my own past, it would allow me to move forward."

They cancelled it?
Funny. Someone should tell the Barnes & Noble store down the street from me. I was in there last night, and they had a whole stack of his books on the table for sale.

Different Book
Amazon sure doesn't have it. You sure you got the right book? But it isn't just the book that matters is it. Why do you suppose old Leo was involved in the "fiasco" at Salon, and why was he turned down to begin with for this book? Does the word "credibility" even fit in your vernacular?

Barnes and Noble
They don't list the book either. Time's up. And you've lost the chance for the million dollar prize. Sorry.

Pitt doesn't even know the name of Leopold's book?
