For those worried about Alec Baldwin, his career, his ongoing custody proceedings and his ability to pay the mortgage - and I know that’s probably, well, none of you - never fear! Alec landed a book deal. Not just any old book deal. No, not Alec. He landed a “very significant” book deal. For those playing at home, that translates into the “very” high end of a $251,000-$499,000 range advance.

Here it is:

NON-FICTION: ADVICE/RELATIONSHIPS
Alec Baldwin’s book sharing his divorce experiences with other parents, in the hopes that it will “create opportunities for healing, and inspire both public debate and changes in antiquated divorce laws,” to Sally Richardson at St. Martin’s, with Jennifer Enderlin and Charles Spicer editing, in a very significant deal, at auction, for publication in mid-2007, by Karen Gantz (world).

The strange thing about this - to the extent I can find only one thing strange about this - is the fact Jennifer Enderlin of St. Martin’s is working on it. I always think of her as a romance/women’s fiction editor (and a highly regarded one). Looks as if her reach extends to other genres. Shows how much I know.

Wonder which publisher will pick up Kim Bassinger’s version of the book…
