I remember seeing OJ being handcuffed by the sand box or sand box in the back ground. I read the book. You could tell 2 styles of writing. The parts about Nicole where transcriptions of OJ telling the story probably on audio tape. But the Murder part was a completely different style. It looked to me as if it was meant to have been a dream that OJ had or something like that. And the dream part was ommitted. But the style was just not OJ. My hunch is that OJ dictated the part about Nicole part of the book. Then the publisher or ghost writer said to really sell the book, to Arnell or OJ, to let the ghost put in a dream sequence about how it might have happened. It looked like it was leading up to a dream sequence but then did not say so. There where just several errors in the murder section, that would not have been made by OJ. I doubt he even saw the finished copy to correct it. I doubt even if Goldman even gets the rights that it will sell enought copies that a publisher will publish or the royalties will equal the law fee Goldman used to get the rights.To most people OJ is old news. Even with Marsha's coming out late, the publisher went in the hole on it. I was in the book sellers side of books and I would not order a copy unless I was asked specifically to order one copy by a customer and would pay the one copy price, because I would know I could not sell the rest. Only coffee table books will sell after a few months after the incident. They retain thier value a bit longer because of the pictures. And as soon as you can buy them as remainders you can make a decent profit. Even Bibles won't sell but a short time after a new edition comes out.
