Tony Blair book in the works?

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair plans to write a book, a Blair representative said Thursday.

The representative, who would not speak on the record because a deal has not yet been made, said that the book, probably a memoir, hasn’t been started and is at least a few years from publication. There have been no negotiations or serious discussions with publishers, the representative said.

Blair has retained Washington attorney Robert Barnett, who has worked on multimillion-dollar book deals with former President Clinton, former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan and others, the representative said.
