Jeremy Robson has acquired UK and Commonwealth rights to Paul Gambaccini’s book Love, Paul Gambaccini for Biteback Publishing from Caroline Michel at PFD. The book will be published by Biteback in September this year.
Love, Paul Gambaccini is a first-person account of the twelve months of trauma that Gambaccini suffered after being falsely accused of historic charges of sexual assault. He was traduced in the press, made unemployable and forced to pay thousands of pounds in legal fees during a year in which he had no income. Finally, inevitably, he became the latest celebrity to be exonerated of all the allegations against him.
Love, Paul Gambaccini is the no-holds-barred story of that year. Publication will be supported by a major press campaign.
Paul Gambaccini said, ‘When I was sitting in a jail cell waiting for a solicitor, I made myself three promises. I would lose weight, become a better piano player and write a book about whatever was about to occur. I am glad to say I shed a stone, learned several of Mendelssohn's ‘Songs Without Words’ and wrote Love, Paul Gambaccini.’
