As a coda to Super Bowl XLII stories here's one that merits a mention in dubious moments in sports history or publishing...
In the days leading up to American football's biggest game, a hatch was plotted (this is totally intended) by the Boston Globe to publish a book titled: "19-0: The Historic Championship Season of New England's Unbeatable Patriots." In fact it was being solicited on amazon.com for $14.95. But when the New York Giants won, it was quickly yanked off the net.
It's okay, I hear there's a new book being solicited: "A Giant Upset: New York's Super Bowl Triumph Over the Powerful New England Patriots."
The suggested retail price is $17.14.
