Though the world is still glued to the live account of the Chilean mine rescue operation, a book about the 69-day saga has already been sold in the U.K. (it’s currently on submission in the U.S., and has been sold in Germany and France.)
Guardian journalist Jonathan Franklin‘s 33 Men, Buried Alive will be published by Transworld’s Bantam Press in early 2011. It’s “based his on-the-scene reporting, which has included private conversations with the miners and the rescue team,” according to the deal report in Publisher’s Lunch.
