Lessons from Putin picked up by Canongate

Vladimir Putin: Life Coach, edited by Rob Sears—who compiled the Christmas 2017 hit, The Beautiful Poetry of Donald Trump—has been signed by Canongate.

Senior commissioning editor Hannah Knowles acquired world all-language rights from Gordon Wise at Curtis Brown.

The publisher said the title has “advice on hacking democracy at the PTA, to annexing territory by claiming communal areas as your personal empire”.
