Perseus and NBC recently began working together on enhanced eBook apps. Their partnership brought about the bestselling book app JFK: 50 Days. David Steinberger, CEO of the Perseus Books Group had this statement: “We’re privileged to continue our partnership with NBC News to create these standard-setting enhanced projects that set the bar for what can be done with classic works. The footage NBC News has in their amazing archive is a virtual time capsule, transporting the viewer back to the cultural moment of publication and adding a new dimension to the experience of Roots.”
