WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 (UPI) -- Book publishers are set to publish at least 24 books connected to U.S. President-elect Barack Obama, literary officials say.

Political literary agent Gail Ross said the increase in Obama books likely comes from society's love of stories involving a gallant hero who saves the day or a menacing villain, Politico reported Saturday.

"Bush books worked when he became a villain," Ross said of U.S. President George W. Bush, adding that Obama appears to currently wear the social mantle of potential hero.

For HarperCollins executive editor Tim Duggan, the interest in books about Obama has more to do with race than hero-villain clashes.

1. If he doesn't travel to mythical lands...

...and fight ferocious monsters with a cursed sword, aided by a sexy redheaded thief, a wise-yet-perverted wizard, and magical talking cat, I'll wait for the Cliffnotes.

2. 22 of the books will come from the right claiming Prez. Obama is an Indonesian Kenya Muslim Briton.

.....who used hypnosis and voodoo to trick the country into voting for him.
