ALBANY—Zephyr Teachout and Andrew Cuomo are both running for governor of New York state and they both have books due out this fall. But while Andrew Cuomo’s book, All Things Possible: Setbacks and Success in Politics and in Life (due out in October) earned him an $188,000 advance last year, Teachout’s earning from her forthcoming book was more of the nominal variety.

Teachout, who is riding around the state on a bus today as part of a three-day “whistleblower tour” told Capital she only got about $1,000 for her book, back in 2008. The book “Corruption in America,” is set to be published by Harvard University Press in September 2014.

"My advance and Cuomo's advance were very different,” she said.

"Academic press," added her running mate Tim Wu, a Columbia University Law Professor, laughing.
