Scooter's Dirty Book in Big Demand

The CIA leak indictment has set off a search for the accused's book -- and people are offering hundreds of dollars for a copy.

Before coming to Washington as the Vice President's Chief of Staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby wrote a steamy novel -- The Apprentice. Mr Libby calls it a "coming of age" novel set in 1903 Japan. The story features beastiality, pedophilia and grave robbing. Glad I didn't "come of age" in 1903 Japan.

The Apprentice is out of print. Used copies are selling for anywhere from $700 for an unsigned hardcover copy to $2,400 an autographed copy on Amazon.com.
