Million dollar advance for McCanns book

Just seen on another forum - google translation

Book: Profits go to a fund managed by parents

'Maddie' launched in May


The book 'Madeleine', written by Gerry and Kate McCann, parents of English child who disappeared in 2007 from a resort in the Algarve, Portugal will be released by Editions Wing in May, the month which will complete four years since the night that Maddie will have been last seen.

In launching the book, Edições Asa Group Leya, will have the presence in Portugal, the couple, who, throughout the investigation of the case, came to face charges of knowing more than he did understand about the fate of Madeleine, who was only three years when he came together with parents and two younger brothers, on holiday in the Algarve town of Aldeia da Luz

'Madeleine' is being presented as an account of Gerry and Kate McCann of the days before the disappearance of the eldest and the efforts to get the find. Revenues from sales of the book are intended to finance the fund that has funded initiatives - so far unsuccessful - to find the child or find out what was their destination.

Maddie's parents arrived in November, according to the publisher Transworld, which will be handed a million dollar advance plus a generous percentage of sales to Gerry and Kate McCann. At that time, it was announced that part of the book was already written.

The English version should be released on April 28 - after the anniversary be marked on May 3 - and was explained by Kate McCann as "an account of truth." "Publishing the book was a very difficult decision, taken after much deliberation and with very heavy heart," he said in November, noting that lack of money in the fund created with the name of the daughter was one of the reasons that led them to accept the challenge of the publisher.

Gonçalo Amaral: “It’s being said that the book is an aid to find their daughter. As it will only be published towards the end of April, we can conclude that until then, their daughter won’t be found.”

Why didn't David Cameron say to the McCanns: "Before we bill the taxpayer for £3.6million for a case review, please buy a first class stamp and write to the Portuguese prosecutor to reopen the process that you allowed to be shelved, which has hampered the search for Maddie for nearly 5 years so far."

It never ceases to amaze me how the general public haven't copped on to this. TM have been planning future events since day one. They know, and they've been telling us, that Madeleine will never be found.

It'll be interesting to know what they do with the money!

Are they going to let us know of new PIs hire? Or would it be a case of using existing PIs to hide how they spend the money?

This money making scheme from their book will go against them at the Libel for obvious reason they said Amaral wrote for profit. This will boomerang and be thrown in the face at the trial.

Exactly. A bit like the big pop concert "but not for a 1 year anniversary, sooner than that".

I can't see many people buying this book TBH, maybe a few thousand made up of the family, friends and strangers who still believe their abduction fairy tale.

Makes me wonder if they have got their plans underway to plan something for the Olympics in London!
