MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Gov. Tim Pawlenty has a title and publication date for his forthcoming book.

“Courage to Stand: An American Story” is scheduled to come out Jan. 11, right after he leaves office. The two-term Republican has said it will cover his reflections on leadership, public service and policy.

A cover photograph on Amazon, where the book is available for pre-order at a penny shy of $27, shows a resolute-looking Pawlenty in a bright red backwoods shirt, silhouetted against what might be a Minnesota lake scene.

Pawlenty is exploring a 2012 presidential bid, and releasing a book ahead of such a run has become a routine event for hopefuls.
