The rush to release a print version of the Mueller report is the latest example of a desperate industry increasingly addicted to quick takes for fast profit.
It took less than a week for publishers to get the redacted version of the "Report On The Investigation Into Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election"-more commonly known as "the Mueller report"-into old-fashioned, analog, hold-in-you-hand book form. Scribner, working with The Washington Post, won the race to be the first on physical shelves; their version, fleshed out with an introduction and commentary from Post journalists Rosalind S. Helderman and Matt Zapotsky, is already in bookstores across the country.
