Former President Barack Obama‘s highly anticipated memoir that, expected to be released this year, has been delayed until 2020…around the same time as the presidential campaign.
What We Know…
- The Obamas, signed a book deal in 2017 with publishing company Penguin Random House for at least $60 million. According to the Associated Press, PRH has reached out to foreign partners about the status of the book.
