Simon & Schuster has bought UK and Commonwealth rights to a new self-help book.
Kerri Sharp, commissioning editor for non-fiction, bought rights to You Need This Book in a pre-emptive deal from Antony Topping at Greene & Heaton
The book, which has been written by Mark Palmer and Scott Solder, is described as "an incredibly exciting and powerful tool for getting what you want in life—from a career change to faster service in a pub".
Sharp said: "It's a fantastic new way forward in personal development with a sprinkling of British humour and a down-to-earth focus that’s too often lacking in the genre."
The book will be published in January 2010 and the publisher is hoping to build it into a series.
