Mattingly s book will be published by Tennessee-based Post Hill Press, The Courier Journal reported. The company website said it publishes current events, Christian and conservative political books, among other topics. It has a deal to have its books distributed by Simon & Schuster, which earlier Thursday indicated it could not refuse Post Hill titles.
But late Thursday, Simon & Schuster released a statement saying it would not be involved in Mattingly s book. Like much of the American public, earlier today Simon & Schuster learned of plans by distribution client Post Hill Press to publish a book by Jonathan Mattingly, the publishing house said in a statement. We have subsequently decided not be involved in the distribution of this book.
