Tony Blair, the former British Prime Minister, is publishing his memoirs. Blair reportedly was paid £4.6 million (over $7.3 million) for "A Journey" which will be published on September 1. The book will be published in hardback, audio and digital download formats but there will also be a special limited edition available. The special version will be autographed and sells for around $240. The Daily Mail reports that this version, will be signed, slip-cased and cloth-bound in red and is aimed at American audiences. The content will be the same but it is a signed and numbered limited edition.

Last year a special edition of Ted Kennedy's memoir,"True Compass" sold for $1,000. A limited edition of President Clinton's massive "My Life" sold for $350 and a leather-bound version of President Reagan's memoir "An American Life" was sold for $1,500 back in 1990.
