Casey Anthony Book Deal: O.J.-Effect Could Sink Any Chance She Had
With news that Casey Anthony will soon be a free woman, any dreams of making millions of dollars off the tragic death of her young daughter, Caylee, through potential book deals looks very unlikely.
"Publishers have a long memory and after the public outcry that led to the canceled publication of the O.J. Simpson book ['If I Did It'], everyone will think twice before offering Casey a deal," one senior book editor tells me.
One of the nation's largest superstore chains, Borders Group Inc., previously said it would donate any profits from the OJ book to charity, and given the public reaction to the Anthony verdict, many believe a book by Casey would be met with similar reaction.
"Even if she decided to tell the whole truth in the book, which she could because she couldn't be tried again because of double jeopardy, who would want to give their hard earned money to her," an independent publisher tells me.
Judith Regan, the would-be publisher of Simpson's book, did not get back to me to comment, but she did say at the time that Simpson approached her with the idea for the book, which reportedly was sold for $3.5 million. Pre-order sales of the OJ book had been strong, but not sensational. 'If I Did It' cracked the top 20 at Amazon.com but at the time that its cancellation was announced, the book had fallen to No. 51.
"Anyone that touches this book is committing career suicide," a writer tells me about potential Casey tell-alls. "Not to mention, how do you go to sleep at night knowing you are making this young woman rich?"

But she could do a stint at the Chicken Ranch, lying is part of the job:"Oh, my, you're so big! Oh! Oh! I've never felt so good! Ah, I can't get off anymore! You're so handsome! Got any more money? No? Bye-bye!"
Disgusting. The thought of anything to do with her is disgusting, almost to the point of gagging. Anybody that gives their money to her or anything to do with her is an toothless idiot in a three-cornered goofball hat.
Put her in a hotel room with Joran Vandersloot, for a nice relaxing weekend.
What she said. (Pam)
This is a sick woman. Hopefully, karma will kick in. Anyone who pays a cent for anything or even watches any sick show that has her on is just as bad. What do the anti abortion people think? That poor child.
Totally agree with you. Casey Anthony is a very poor excuse for a human being and should never be allowed to bring another child into this world. She is disgusting!!!!
Yes, I hope many many think this way. She is laughing again and sayin: "I such a good lier."But hope she falls on her trap! Narrow head jurors. we cann't judge, but we dont need to, because she gave all the evidence!
I couldn't agree with you more. The less we see or hear of that cold blooded murderer the better. She will get what she deserves before God & WILL rot in hell.She got away with murder. She disgusts me.
The only thing I want to read that has Casey Anthony inscribed on it is her tombstone. May she rot!
You are 100% correct and I totally agree!!!!!!
You've got to be kidding. A book! She lies about everything, more fiction!!

I will not watch buy or support in any other way anything to do with Casey Anthony again. Any network paying her big bucks for an interview will not have me watching her spin another tale of lies.
Her book would only sell to other psychopaths like herself.
Not at all. anybody that would publish this book would be an absolute fool with no remorse

I believe there are facts regarding the father we still do not know. At least, it is not public knowledge
Yes, I would read a book written by Casey.
