Fat book deal for a local and his dog

Publisher's Marketplace's Deal of the Day is a "significant deal" - that's the $251,000-$499,000 category - for former Newburyport Undertoad publisher and local gadfly Tom Ryan's "Following Atticus." Most of us here in Newburyport are familiar with Tom and his little dog Atticus. Many know that he sold the Undertoad newsletter a couple of years ago, and he and Atticus tackled a project to climb all the 4,000-foot mountains in New Hampshire over one winter (not "all the mountains of New Hampshire" as reported). Well, apparently they also learned "about themselves, nature, and love." Can you say "Marley and Me?" According to Publisher's Marketplace, the book is due from William Morrow in Spring 2011.

I sure hope it is a better read than the Undertoad.
