Michael Cohen's would-be publisher says he never saw a full manuscript of Cohen's book:

1. A fearful Trump grasping at straws

[MyOwnPeace]

2. Trump was demanding to see it

because he doesn't really know what a book looks like - never having read one.

[irresistable]

3. Actually, the article says "Never saw a manuscript" as the actual quote.

As in... never saw a manuscript AT ALL.

5. You're right, subject line is fixed

"We never saw a manuscript from Mr. Cohen," said Rolf Zettersten, the publisher of Center Street, the imprint that considered putting out Cohen's book, in an email.

No idea why the Politico reporter chose to use the word "full" in his tweet, but it's fixed now. Thank you.

6. Hmmm. Boring non-existent book or real interesting tax returns. No decision necessary

7. Cohen's publisher specializes in nonfiction books on vonservative political themes.

The demographic that Time Warner hopes to reach through Center Street includes listeners of country and western music, NASCAR fans and residents of the South and Midwest regions of the nation.

Publishers frequently make book deals based on spec when the author is a well known public figure, this isn't at all unusual. Since the book is purportedly another Trump fan fiction account, Cohen probably shared the manuscript with him out of courtesy to their long time association before sending it to the publisher. He was perhaps looking for Trump to write an endorsement as well.

8. It sounds as though Trump just heard on TV that such a manuscript exixts. nt
