Re: Doolittle's book. I get the impression (note impression only - I'm friends with a Torstar writer and I have not asked that person whether this is the case) that books by TorStar writers, mostly of the e-book variety, are basically another income stream for that newspaper consisting of lightly reheated agglomerations of past articles rather than books in the traditional sense which might be related to past work but have notable structure and content not previously circulated. It could be that RD's book is a little more meaty and thus might provide fodder for a talking point about RD basically trying to fit up Ford in order to get a book deal, but it's a VERY long shot in my view (though not so long that it won't show up on the deeply discredited CFRB at some point in the next year)
