President Obama to Write Forward for Nelson Mandela's Book
June 12, 2010

The Guardian reports that President Obama has written a forward for Nelson Mandela's upcoming book. The book, Conversations with Myself, will include diaries and draft letters written by Nelson Mandela. The book is scheduled for an October release.
"We always had a hope that Obama might do it, and a plan that we would put a call in," said Jonny Geller, literary agent for the book at Curtis Brown. "Now it's been delivered and we realised it's better even than what I'd sold – the quality exceeds the hype. It's brilliant."

The Nelson Mandela Foundation "opened the conversation" with Obama's office, said Geller, and the US president agreed to write a foreword to the book, Conversations With Myself, which will be published around the world this October.
President Obama has proven he can drive book sales. He made about $5.5 million in 2009 from his two books: Dreams from My Father and The Audacity of Hope.
