Enter Eric Kampmann—president of Beaufort Books and CEO of Midpoint Trade Books, which provides sales, marketing and distribution services to independent publishers—who partnered with the Goldman family to bring the highly contested narrative to the marketplace. Kampmann had purchased Beaufort Books in 1984, but suspended full-time publishing operations soon after. In 2004, he set out to revive his dormant publishing company. Here, Kampmann details why he decided to publish “If I Did It”—which generated $2.5 million for Beaufort last year—and how a small, obscure publishing house managed to pull off a feat usually left to the big guys.
