The publishing industry's Muellermania is officially out of control

As of Thursday morning, no one knows how much of the Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report will be redacted — or even how long it is — but that hasn't stopped the publishing industry from going hog wild over getting it into print as fast as possible.

On Amazon, you can already take your pick of six versions of the Mueller Report, from Skyhorse's edition (with an introduction by Alan Dershowitz), The Washington Post's edition (which includes analysis by staff reporters), an audiobook version (available "only from Audible"), Melville House's edition (which has an initial print run of an impressive 50,000 copies), Brown Books Publishing Group's Kindle edition (with lawmakers co-writing a bipartisan introduction), and a plain Kindle version ("free of additional commentary").
