    50 years of Breakfast

The late Mr. Capote once called Holly his favorite creation. In honor of the 50th anniversary, Vintage will release a special edition paperback of Breakfast at Tiffany's, packaged with three other Capote books. Start looking for the special edition next month.

    Top-earning dead celebs

    Every year since 2001, Forbes has put out a list of the top-earning dead celebrities. With the exception of 2006, when Kurt Cobain was numero uno, Elvis Presley has topped the list. This year, Elvis Presley earned $52 million dollars, an amazing $12 million dollars more than the very alive Madonna. Also staples on the list, Charles M. Schulz, John Lennon, Albert Einstein, Andy Warhol, Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel, Marilyn Monroe and Bob Marley. Look over the list and then, next time you see merchandise from one of these dearly departed, remember how much their estates are raking in!
