Dohle said the publisher is looking forward to working with the former president and first lady to “make each of their books global publishing events of unprecedented scope and significance.”

In the past, the Obamas have published books through Crown, a Penguin imprint.

The former president has written “Dreams from My Father” and “The Audacity of Hope,” while the former first lady wrote a book about food and gardening called “American Grown,” released in 2012.

There were no details yet on the titles and publishing dates for their latest books. The financial terms of the deals were not disclosed, though have been pegged as likely in the tens of millions of dollars.

The book deals follow a reported bidding war over the global rights to two books from the Obamas that topped $60 million, the Financial Times reported earlier Tuesday.
