Revolutionizing E-Book Publishing: The Much-Needed Solution to Plug the Gap

The Power Broker: A Literary Masterpiece Goes Digital

For decades, The Power Broker, a deeply researched work of non-fiction by Robert A. Caro, has been hailed as a literary masterpiece. The book has garnered praise from esteemed publications like The New York Times, which called it "a literary masterpiece." Even former President Obama has credited the book with shaping his thoughts on politics.

A Must-Have Prop for Politicians and Reporters

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the book became a coveted prop for politicians and reporters appearing on TV from home. Its influence extends beyond the world of politics, too. In January, a 12-episode podcast series dissecting the book went viral.

A Publishing Fantasy

Over the last 50 years, The Power Broker has accumulated an impressive array of accolades, including a Pulitzer Prize. Despite selling wave after wave of physical reprints, an official e-book version has never existed – until now.

The Power Broker: A New Generation of Readers

Starting on September 16th, The Power Broker will finally be available as an e-book, marking its 50th anniversary. This milestone comes after Caro reconsidered his stance on the e-book reading experience, thanks to hardware and software improvements in recent years.

The Journey to Digital

According to The New York Times, Caro’s initial resistance to producing an e-book stemmed from his lingering distaste for the e-book reading experience. However, he eventually conceded that he wanted to make sure a new generation of readers was exposed to the work. Practical production issues still needed to be addressed before the e-book could be released.

A New Era for The Power Broker

With its digital debut, The Power Broker is poised to reach an even wider audience. This iconic book is a must-read for anyone interested in politics, urban planning, and the intersection of power and influence.
