    Just so that everyone knows JohnAngus is a woman from South Jordan,Utah.  She's one of the family P.I.'s Internet flunkies.  She works with him for defend the Anthonys and to attack anyone else.  wign is one of her partners.

    I say let them sell their rights.  That way they will have $ to take in the lawsuits that will come from the people they have lied about and slandered.  Right now you have two out of work people scamming the World to get money into their fake foundation.  That have nothing to lose so they keep lying.  If they get a book deal the Anthonys and the family P.I. will have something to take.

    Once they are all indicted after after the trial for perjury, obstruction and impeding an investigation the Son of Sam law will stop any book or movie deal anyway.

    Thanks Watcher - figured it was something like that. 

    I am seeing letters where S&S has stated they are not and will not be in a book deal with the anthony's - wonder if that includes ghost writer or payments going to a 'trustee' of sorts?  Why isn't S&S coming here to address this?

    I would love to see a book written about this case....if it was written by a respected author. Allowing the Anthony's to tell their story would require the book be published under the fiction catagory....along with fairy tales. If you do publish a book about this case I would hope you would be responsable and publish the truth.

    I am encouraged and delighted at the prospect of the Anthony's writing a book which may help other families in crisis if faced with the unimaginable trauma of having a loved one go missing.  What a great way for Caylee Marie Anthony's family to honor her memory and create something positive out of something so unspeakably tragic.  Kudos to S&S for taking a hard line to entertain such a prospect.

    Check out CayleeMarieAnthonyFoundation.net to see other ways the Anthony's are devoted to helping missing children's causes. 

    The darkness of evil befell the Anthony family and now they work tirelessly to shine their strong and determined light to help others who may someday be in their shoes.

    S&S commitment to help them achieve their goals is not only conducive to their bottom line, but would show the character and strength that makes this (still) capitalist country so great.

    Let me know when I can order them by the boxes to stock in our local bookstores.

    ITs apparent you know nothing on this case and have been drinking the Casey Koolaid too long.  HONOR HER MEMORY...HONOR HER DID I READ THAT RIGHT?  To HONOR her is to BE DEMANDING JUSTICE FOR HER MURDER.  HONOR IS TO  HAVE HER MURDERER CONVICTED...HONOR IS TO MAKE THIS ABOUT CAYLEE AND HER JUSTICE, not there pathetic pockets...I have great insight to this entire case and close to alot of the people involved...GO DRINK SOME MORE KOOLAID!

    I will certainly support a boycott if Simon & Schuster is in a book deal with Cindy Anthony, George Anthony, Dominic Casey and Brad Conway. Simon & Schuster should do some research about the Anthonys. Do they represent the values that a respectable company would like to represent? I don’t think so. It’s all in the public record.
    The Anthony’s have lied to investigators and the public. They hindered the search for Caylee. They knew Caylee was dead and continued to lie and publicly state that Caylee was alive. They put out pictures of other children as possible Caylee sightings when they knew Caylee was dead.
    They have created a scam foundation using Caylee’s name and collect donations that they say are used to help other families with missing children. They have done nothing to help other families. We have missing children and adults right here in Central Florida and George has not once helped search for any of them with the donated $15,000 boat he used in an interview seeking donations for his foundation and Kid Finders Network. They are using donations to pay for THEIR PERSONAL needs and wants.
    The biggest outrage in all this is that the “victim” Caylee has had her rights and life taken from her by her own family. I suspect Caylee’s own mother, who murdered her, licensed pictures of the “victim” Caylee to pay for her defense. I suspect that George and Cindy licensed photos of the “victim” to pay for their living expenses. Who stands for the “victim’s” Caylee’s right to justice? It’s not George and Cindy. They stand for the rights of their murderer, daughter Casey Anthony and publicly state such.
    The list of lies the Anthony’s have told is pages long. Simon & Schuster, do the research before you trash your reputation by giving these disgusting people any money or deals.
    Just my humble opinion.
    Justice For Caylee!

    If it's all the same to you, disiconolfi, I'll wait for a book written by the Anthony's, or a trial, before drawing such conclusions. 

    I'm sure you mean well, and believe in what you say, but I like having ALL the information from BOTH sides of a story before forming such radical opinions.  Hopefully S&S will assist in that endeavor. I'm patient.  I can wait .

    Don't look for a George and Cindy Anthony book from big-time publisher Simon & Schuster.

    Adam
    Rothberg, a vice president at the publishing house, writes: "Simon
    & Schuster does not have a book deal with the Anthony's or anybody
    else associated with this case."

    WFTV-Channel 9 yesterday raised
    the possibility of a book deal with Simon & Schuster. The Anthonys
    are the parents of Casey Anthony, who is charged with the first-degree
    murder of her daughter, Caylee. George and Cindy Anthony have become
    familiar figures on newscasts and TV talk shows.

    In a report
    yesterday, WFTV's Kathi Belich said: "We heard from a reliable tipster
    that the Anthonys, their private eye and their lawyer are negotiating a
    package deal for a book with Simon & Schuster."

    The publisher, part of the CBS Corp., was not commenting, she added.

    Belich said her source was "a tipster who's been right before."

    But not this time.

    Maybe she should rechristen her source the sometimes-reliable tipster.

    <div><span class="274035519-06082009">W</span>ell FBI's number 1 fan ....The whole problem with your little speech there is #1  Caylee was never a missing child. She was a murdered child.  George and Cindy Anthony know nothing about missing children and have never had that.  There own flesh and blood  duct taped her babies mouth shut and murdered her and then threw her away in a "pet cemetery" (did she think she would come back to life like in the Stephen King book?). 2. They both knew Caylee was gone when they picked up Casey's car..Cindy is a nurse and George is an x- cop..Even George stated to the FBI he knew what that smell was and that he lied to Cindy (saying it was just the pizza)...But she knew what it was, she is a nurse For goodness sakes!!  The Anthony's now are living off their MURDERED granddaughter.  I feel sorry for them.
    Actually I feel sick to my stomach thinking about all of their "mis-truths" they have spewed at us.. Remember George telling us they are "watching" the kidnappers.... And Caylee had been moved 9 times.. Does that mean that he was moving her body around? We know she was killed and then placed in the back yard then moved to the trunk so that would be 3 times.  I wonder where the other 6 were? Maybe we should ask their PI... He seemed to have known where to look (general area). Stop the insanity of the Poor George and Cindy....They are probably out fishing in their new boat as we speak!!!</div>

    I will wait for Kathi Belich to comment on what is going on as far as the S&S story being true or not. She broke the story and if the story is not true she will let everyone know. I will wait for her.  

    FBI number 1 fan  Littie Caylee was never missing. Little Caylee was murdered and thrown in the woods behind the Anthony's house like garbage. Get your facts straight.

      IMO.

    George and cindy helping  find "MISSING CHILDREN"? What a joke. cindy and george never had a missing  GRANDDAUGHTER.. they had a murdered Granddaughter.. MURDERED by her own mom.. a mom who cindy and george thought was an UNFIT MOM.  Did george or cindy protect this baby? NO! they did nothing!.. Did george and cindy EVER search for Caylee? NO! On second thought they did.. they searched their own back yard.. Now why would someone search their own yard? Under pavers, in sand box , in a playhouse and around the pool? Umm maybe to make sure Caylee's dead body was hid properly before LE came in.. or maybe to move her body so no one would find her. Where other in own back yard did cindy george or lee search for Caylee? NO WHERE!..

    Just what insight could george or cindy offer to a  really "MISSING CHILDS" FAMILY? NONE!..  IMO...NOT one legit "MISSING CHILD FOUNDATION would want anything to do with these people..

    Its all about how much money can they make off of their dead granddaughter.. They've sold pictures, videos and interviews to make money off of Caylee's blood.

    These people are sicko's. They even had their own PI'S digging around where Caylee's little bones were found not once but 3 times..WHY? IMO it was to find Caylee's remain and HIDE them so no one would ever find them.. So glad they didnt find her..How did they know where she was? My guess is they knew from get go where she was thrown away like trash..

    These people have NEVER acted LIKE a FAMILY DOES when they have a missing child ever! People who was really searching for this child was bad mouthed from jump street.  Did cindy or george EVER ONCE thank all the volunteers? Did they ever supply anyone of them with a bottle of water or a sandwich? did they use any of the money that they begged for to help the searchers in any way? NO!

    They used that money to pay their own personal expenses..and still are to this day.. They have not worked on day on 13 months.. How are they living? They were behind in bills at casey's bond hearing now all of a sudden 13 months late no JOBS bills are paid.

    IMO they ARE living off of BLOOD money they SHOULD be ASHAMED!.. Hey george and cindy get a JOB! stop selling your DEAD GRANDDAUGHTER for MONEY!..

    They have lied to FBI and LE, destroyed evidence,  obstructed justice, hindered an on going murder investigation of a 2 year old little girl,gave FBI wrong hairbrush. These people are covering for the murderer and Caylee once again is being used as a pawn.. They are using her for all the money they can get their grubby hands on..

    NO ONE give these so called grandparents a dime.. and trust me when I use the term lightly about grandparents.. If they do get a book deal and what ever publishing company publishes it I will never purchase another book from that company again!

    This is my opinons on the Anthonys!

    Hi Everyone,

    Please be advised that Simon & Schuster does not have a book deal, nor does it have any plans to publish a book, with George and Cindy Anthony, or anybody else associated with this case.   Any reports to the contrary are inaccurate.

    Thanks.

    I am etremely dissapointed that such a respected company would stoop to a new low to sell books.

    The Anthony family have done nothing to help get justice for their granddaughter. They have lied since day one and everyone can confirm this!

    Now if it is a book on how to help your daughter get away with murder, maybe then people will purchase that book because we all know that this is what the Anthony family is doing!

    They think that people are a bunch of morons, and that we cannot see through their lies.

    Wait until the trial is over and then write a book about facts not fiction.

    Caylee Anthony does not have anyone to really stand behind her as far as her blood relatives are concerned and this is why she has so many strangers fighting to see that justice is served. At this point that is all she has.

    She deserved respect and dignity, but most of all she deserves JUSTICE!

    Please do not pay these people to lie to us anymore! Thank you.

    Thank you Administrator for posting ..I appreciate you taking the time.I would hope  this also means that no one associated with the Anthonys or their PI or any lawyer(including Caseys)or members of any of these people families are not making deals to write a story about Caylee and your publishing firm.

    Thank you, Simon & Schuster Administrator for informing us of the facts, that this book deal is a fantasy. Your firm answer gives me hope that we are not entering the slippery slope of depravity. I have yet to post on a blog about the Anthony case, but the idea of a respected and established publishing house getting involved with this affront to humanity was more than I could stand.

    I am a school librarian at one of Texas' largest public schools. I advise teenagers on their fiction and nonfiction reading. It would sicken me to add a book to my collection written, or ghost-written, by people who are making money from their murdered grandchild.

    This case is moving on, and everyone involved will get their day in court ensured by our Constitution. But any entertainment entity, be it publishing, tv, or film, who is tempted to get sucked in by this family needs to just leave it be and stay away. Oprah saw in the light in time and cancelled a show with the Anthony grandparents. She saw it was only about the money the Anthony's wanted to make off this horror, not the dead child.

    Thank you S&S.

    IMO- I am still concerned about the wording from S and S.  To me it sounds like you may still decide to publish a book written by the Anthony's or those who have helped them to dishonor Caylee, by wording it NO PLANS instead of stating WE WILL NOT PUBLISH.

    I am an avid reader, and I assure you I will not read any book published that is in any way one sided by the Anthony's.  This would include any books published by any subsidiary of any publishing company publishing it.

    Please consider that maybe, just maybe any profits made by you, may be lost in the sale of other books you publish, so bottom line for you could be zero.  While the Anthony's walk away with quite a sum of money.

    There's no one more disgusting than Cindy Anthony...she rules the roost with an iron fist and wears George's testicles around her neck like a Hermes scarf.  She alone is soley responsible for rearing a sociopath daughter.  A daughter who would not have killed a darling little girl if she'd been "allowed" to have an abortion...but NO, mom wouldn't hear of it!!  The sociopath knew how to get back at her overbearing mom and did so without a second thought. 

    Needless to say I won't be buying ANY book penned by the dysfunctional Anthony family. The ONLY book I would be interested in reading would be a psychological profile re the family dynamics which allowed their sociopath daughter to flourish.  That being said if the Anthonys do receive an advance I hope "Zany the Nanny" can put a lien on it. Zany deserves alittle $$$$$ for her loss of reputation and pain and suffering.

    I am just disgusted by this whole thing. How could you write a book about your deceased granddaughter. I couldn't bring myself to read this book I would feel like I betrayed Caylee. I can't believe the Anthony's are doing this. Do they have no shame?? If this were my family and something this tragic happen a book deal would be the last thing I would do. I would pick up the pieces and move on. Why are they doing this? Is it for money? Is it to tell a story as to what happened? Does it matter Anthony's will it bring Caylee back? God Bless that little girl. and they know not what they do Caylee.

    There wll be a great many blood-stained hands if such a book is published, The Publishers, The Anthony Family and any who buy this book. Blood Money, pure and simple.

    Once Casey Anthoney is found Guilty then of course books will be published, I am currently working on mine - it is entitled ' Liar Liar Pants On Fire'

    Great news on the no book deal with the Scamanthonys, S&S.  Thanks for that post.  S&S is a respected publishing house.  I should have realized you wouldn't deal with such liars.  Please don't look at any manuscripts from those loser bottom-feeders, Kidfinders, either.  They are actual felons.

    ohreally - I agree with your post - and I believe that word games are being played.
    I believe that Conway, George, Cindy, and P.I. Dominic DID go to New York and "talk" to S & S about a GROUP book deal, just as Kathi Belich's source said - it's just that S & S has not "finalized" a deal yet, so they skirt around the issue by saying they do not "HAVE" plans for a book deal ..... in other words - not YET ...... not at this time ......
    Kathi did not report that the book deal was DONE/finalized .... all she said
    was that her source said the liars went to New York to TALK to S & S about a book deal.
    When Kathi asked Conway about it - he did NOT deny it - he just said it was
    "personal" and he would not discuss it with Kathi Belich! In a twisted way, Conway admitted that they DID go to S & S to discuss the book deal, but said it was a "personal" matter.
    I believe it is true that this group did go to S & S to discuss a group book deal.

    I just hope that this reputable publishing company realizes how offensive this group book deal is to many in the public, who feel this is an insult to Caylee Marie's memory. This group of people have done nothing but LIE and try to obstruct justice for Caylee. They should not be rewarded with huge sums of money for a book deal.

    JUSTICE FOR CAYLEE

    I cannot believe that this atrocious family of grifters has perhaps found yet ANOTHER way to make money off this poor child.  How unfortunate that little Caylee was given to a family who have no apparent desire to ever have been there for her, in life or death.

    People who tell one lie after the other, who laugh about misleading law enforcement (remember the toothbrush) who have not ONCE thanked the multitude of people who worked so hard trying to find Caylee, dead or alive, who after KNOWING that she was dead at the hands of their daughter had the balls to say "get off your asses and find my granddaughter", while they sat in their house doing nothing to help, do not deserve to make one cent off of her memory.

    I sincerely hope that Simon & Schuster steps back & realizes that they already are a giant in publishing, with a good reputation. They need not sink to the level of these people to make a buck. 

    The blogging community was insturmental in getting the appearance of the Anthony's at the victims rights conference (or some such thing) in Connecticut cancelled.  This day and age CAN make a difference, and the public CAN make a difference.  What someone gets away with legally can blow up in their faces due to the openess of todays society, and the ability of people being able to make their thoughts know to any business who would support anyone so obviously guilty.

     

    Please boycott any book by the Anthony family, Dominic Casey or Brad Conway, and spread the word to anyone else you know who may be thinking about buying it.  I agree, the wording from Simon & Schuster is very defininetly NOT an affirmation that this will not happen.
