dailymail | A forthcoming book about Dr. Anthony Fauci has been removed from Amazon and Barnes & Noble after it was accidentally posted for pre-sale prematurely.
The 80-page tome, titled 'Expect the Unexpected: Ten Lessons on Truth, Service, and the Way Forward', is set to be released by National Geographic Books on November 2.
On Tuesday, the hardcover book went up for pre-sale online for the sum of $18, before the listing pages mysteriously vanished.
On Wednesday, JustTheNews reported that the book 'had been scrubbed from online listings... amid criticism that Fauci is profiting from the deadly COVID-19 pandemic'.
However, National Geographic Books told DailyMail.com that there was a more innocent explanation for the removal.
'The book was prematurely posted for pre-sale, which is why it was taken down,' the company said in a statement.
They added: 'The book was developed by National Geographic Books in connection with an upcoming National Geographic Documentary Film about Dr. Fauci. He will not earn any royalties from its publication.'
Fauci's forthcoming book will be compiled of interviews that he has conducted during his 34-year stint as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
An overview of the book states: 'Before becoming the face of the White House Coronavirus Task Force and America's most trusted doctor, Dr. Fauci had already devoted three decades to public service.
'Those looking to live a more compassionate and purposeful life will find inspiration in his unique perspective on leadership, expecting the unexpected, and finding joy in difficult times.'
The
overview further states: 'The earnest reflections in these pages will
offer a universal message on how to lead in times of crisis and find
resilience in the face of disappointments and obstacles'.
