An original copy of O.J. Simpson's
infamous "hypothetical" confession book If I Did It has been
found, and it's waiting on the auction block for you, fans.
About 400,000 copies of the despicable
book were printed in 2006, but the release was canceled following a massive
backlash and all copies were destroyed.
Well, almost all.
A small number apparently survived. One
is at News Corporation (the original publisher), one was sold for $65K on eBay
in 2007, and now this one.
A revised version of If I Did It was
printed in 2007, with added commentary from the father of one of Simpson's
"alleged" murder victims, Ron Goldman.
Fred Goldman, who won a wrongful death
lawsuit against O.J. on his son's behalf, sought and won the rights to the book
and any subsequent earnings.
An original edition is pretty much
unheard of, and for good reason, seeing as few people would want to have
anything associated with that waste of space.
On a side note, here was the original
title and cover for the O.J. Simpson fake confessional book before News Corp
shot it down seven years ago:
