Libby's lurid book in demand - The World - Breaking News 24/7 - NEWS.com.au:

"A STEAMY novel by I Lewis 'Scooter' Libby has become a hot item now that Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff is under indictment.
An inscribed copy of The Apprentice: A Novel, which Libby wrote in 1996 when he was a relative unknown outside Washington, was on sale on online bookseller Amazon.com today for $US2400 ($A3280).

Unsigned hardcover copies were going for $US700 ($A956).

Now out of print, the novel tells the story of an innkeeper apprentice in a bizarre coming-of-age story set in Japan in 1903. It is littered with edgy sexual material and strong language.

'Wow, who would have thought that clean living, family values man Scooter Libby was capable of writing such filth?' said one reviewer on Amazon.

Another Amazon reviewer noted its 'lavish dollops of voyeurism, bestiality, pedophilia and corpse robbery.'"
