Metropolitan Books, an imprint of Henry Holt and Company, announced Tuesday that "Adios Mofo: Why Rick Perry Will Make America Miss George W. Bush" is scheduled for early 2012.
According to Metropolitan, the authors have "deep contacts with numerous operatives in the Perry campaign" and will present the governor as an "ideologue with scant interest or success in governing."
The book's title comes from remarks Perry made in 2005 after a television interview with a Houston reporter. Perry, who later apologized, said he was unaware the microphone was still on.
Meanwhile, a book by Perry himself received a sales bump after he announced his candidacy Saturday. The hardcover of "Fed Up!" has moved into the top 400 on Amazon.com and is out of stock until Friday.
