To strive, to seek, to find…

This just in from AP:

Beaufort Books has commissioned an additional 50,000 copies of Simpson’s If I Did It, the ghostwritten account of how the ex-football star would have murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. The book, which came out last week and on Tuesday ranked No. 2 on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com, now has 200,000 copies in print.

How could this happen?

“The arrest brought the whole question of O.J. and the law back into everybody’s consciousness,” Beaufort owner Eric Kampmann told The Associated Press. When does this question ever really go away when one thinks of him?

Looks like everything is coming up O.J. then - allegations of armed heists can really boost an author’s career:

If I Did It was supposed to be released last November by ReganBooks, an imprint of HarperCollins. But the book was soon pulled in response to public outrage…

Apparently, no outrage necessary now that he’s allegedly dabbling in lesser crimes than the one he was acquitted for. Breathless would-be readers were clearly waiting for another hit of sweet Simpson anger.
