Judith Regan Lawsuit

You all have already heard by now that Judith Regan has filed suit against her former employer, HarperCollins (and parent company News Corp.). She's suing on a number of grounds (24 in all) and is asking for over $100 million in damages.

Just to recap, Regan is a very famous, high profile editor who specializes in sensational titles. She acquired both the OJ Simpson book IF I DID IT and Peter Golenbock's 7: THE MICKEY MANTLE NOVEL, and the controversies that resulted represent the bulk of her complaint.

I'll post my own restrained opinion and provide updates as things progress, but for now here is a link to the complaint (PDF) via Publisher's Marketplace, as well as a good summary from Galley Cat.
