Pelé in pictures
Simon & Schuster will release a new abridged version of Pelé's autobiography this autumn, featuring new photos and memorabilia from the football legend's career.
Pelé: My Life in Pictures will be published on 6th October, priced at £30. It will be a large-format hardback, similar to the Star Wars Vault book S&S released last year. Publishing director Suzanne Baboneau said the book would be marketed as a Christmas gift. "It's a perfect title for the Christmas market," she said. "We wanted to give something that has an exclusive feel to people who were readers of the autobiography."
Pelé: The Autobiography was published by S&S in 2006 and covered the games, tournaments, rivals and team-mates of the Brazilian footballer, who played for the World Cup-winning Brazilian teams of 1958, 1962 and 1970. It has sold 133,006 copies to date, according to Nielsen BookScan.
