Say What?

HuffPost has a story from The Independent on a Tony Blair biographer rushing to beat Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to the bookshelves.

Thanks to Tony, and his decision to stand down on 27 June, Alastair [Campbell, former Blair spinmeister] is able to get in ahead of Harry Potter, by 12 days. The Blair Years (784 pages, £25, no Amazon discount if you pre-order now) by Alastair Campbell is published on 9 July; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (608 pages, £18 discounted to £9 for pre-orders) by J.K. Rowling follows on 21 July.

Because, I suppose, they expect to be competing for the same readership.

I'm afraid I can't see myself slogging through 784 pages of Blair, especially at $50 a pop.
