Incendiary… packed full of astonishing revelations
The Herald
February 14th was Valentine’s Day for most – but for us it marked publication of Into the Bear Pit: The Explosive Autobiography of Craig Whyte.
Publicity for this long awaited book started on 7 February, one week before publication. Coverage came in the form of Newspaper front pages, news stories, features, sports section double pages, broadcast interviews and much online coverage on websites and social media channels.
The outcome? The book climbed on Amazon to number 20 in all books.
