Journos’ Dean book called a must-read for political reporters

Los Angeles Times
“Howard Dean: A Citizen’s Guide to the Man Who Would Be President” is in its second printing with over 30,000 sold. The idea for the book didn’t stem from some altruistic effort to contribute to the greater political knowledge, writes Eric Slater. Rather, two small, financially strapped Vermont newspapers were looking for additional revenue. “In May, there was a brainstorming session — how can we make money in this tough economy besides publishing newspapers?” says Dirk Van Susteren, the Sunday magazine editor at the Rutland Herald and its sister newspaper, the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus, and the book’s editor.
