Will Monica Lewinsky get big bucks for her story? Many publishing-industry insiders say no. Too many big-ticket books, such as Dick Morris's $2.5 million memoir, have bombed, and Lewinsky may spill most of her beans in public. On the high side, publisher Judith Regan estimates that Monica's story is worth "maybe as much as a million,"
while Robert Gottlieb of the William Morris Agency puts the number in
the low six figures. Larry Kirshbaum of Time Warner Trade Publishing is
closefisted, saying, "I think we're all bimboed out." The supermarket tabloids are similarly split. The Star's Phil Bunton has a standing offer of $1 million to
hear Lewinsky's story, while the Globe's Tony Frost has "scant interest."
Meanwhile, right-wing publisher Regnery next week becomes the first with a pro-impeachment book, this one by commentator Ann Coulter. Lewinsky Kiss Won't Sell
