Anne Robinson, the stern-visaged British mistress of ceremonies for NBC-TV's hit show The Weakest Link, had sold a memoir to New American Library's Louise Burke last spring (Hot Deals, May 7), only to have it canceled when Burke left the company—a rather extreme reaction to the orphaning of a book, which nevertheless has a happy ending. For when Burke landed as executive v-p and publisher at Pocket Books, she lost no time in renewing her offer to agent Ed Victor, though whether she paid anything like the original half-million dollars, deponent sayeth not. In any case, the book, in which Robinson will talk frankly of the conflicts of career and motherhood and of her struggles with alcoholism, will appear from Pocket in November, at which time the show, which seems to be booming, will have two weekly slots.
