George W. Bush — generally regarded as our most ill-spoken, as well as ill-spoken-of, presidents — has signed a book deal with Random House imprint Crown for “a book about some of the decisions he made during his eight years in office,” according to a Reuters wire report by Michelle Nichols.

The deal was brokered by the lawyer/agent to the political stars, Robert Barnett, who has represented Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as Condoleeza Rice and former first lady Laura Bush. Barnett says the book is tentatively titled Decision Points, but he wouldn’t reveal financial terms. Nonetheless, that should fuel speculation that has been ongoing in the book industry, where it has been widely believed that Bush, due to his plummeting popularity, would generate far less interest (read: far less money) than would his wife (who supposedly got between $2-3 million).

In a brief interview with Hillel Italie of the Associated Press for this wire report, Bush said he started writing two days after leaviing the White House. He also said Decision Points would have “a lot more depth” than his previous book, A Charge to Keep, “thanks” — as paraphrased by the AP — “to his years as president.” At the same time, the AP report notes that “Although he didn’t keep a diary while in the White House,” Bush “‘jotted’ down the occasional note.”
