A book offering aid and advice to those suffering from such chronic lung diseases as asthma, bronchitis and emphysema has been signed by Gerry Howard for Broadway Books. “LIFE AND BREATH” by Dr. Neil Schachter, writing with Deborah Chase, was a solid six-figure buy from new-fledged agent (and former Doubleday exec) Marly Rusoff.
The book will also offer advice to smokers on how they can help offset the damage done to their lungs by cigarettes. Dr. Schachter is a former president of the American Lung Association of New York.
