NEW YORK (AP) — His paintings made news worldwide, but it turns out that former President George W. Bush has been working on another, highly personal project since leaving the White House: He has quietly completed a biography of his father, former President George H.W. Bush.

 Crown Publishers told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the book, currently untitled, will be released November 11. In 2010, Crown published the younger Bush's million-selling memoir, "Decision Points." 
 
 "George H.W. Bush is a great servant, statesman, and father," George W. Bush said in a statement issued by Crown. "I loved writing the story of his life, and I hope others enjoy reading it." 
 
 According to Crown, the book will cover the elder Bush's whole life and his influence on his son, from George W.'s "childhood in West Texas to his early campaign trips with his father, and from his decision to go into politics to his own two-term presidency." 
 
 The book will be "heartfelt, intimate, and illuminating," Crown publisher Maya Mavjee said in a statement. 
 
 "As the only father and son to each have served as President of the United States since John and John Quincy Adams, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush occupy a unique position in history," Mavjee said. "George W. Bush brings to vivid life his unique perspective of the personal qualities and principles that have animated George H. W. Bush's extraordinary life of service to country and family." 
 
 Financial terms were not disclosed. George W. Bush was represented by Washington attorney Robert Barnett, who also handled negotiations for "Decision Points." 
 
 The relationship between the two presidents has long fascinated scholars, political insiders and the general public. Many have speculated that the younger Bush felt competitive with his father, driven to surpass him and to gain his approval. In a 2013 appearance on "CBS This Morning," George W. Bush said his father was a role model and that their relationship was based upon "love and admiration." 
 
 George W. Bush first thought of the book around 2010 and began writing it two years later, consulting widely with friends and family members, including his father. The book is expected to be around 300 pages and Crown is planning a first printing of 1 million copies. Although Bush had assistance with research, he wrote the book himself. 
 
 George H.W. Bush, who turned 90 in June, was defeated for re-election in 1992 by Bill Clinton, but his stature has steadily grown. In 2012, he was the subject of an admiring HBO documentary, "41," referring to his being the 41st president. Jon Meacham, a Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer, is working on a book about Bush. "George H. W. Bush: Character at the Core," by former Bush speechwriter Curt Smith, is scheduled to come out this fall. 
 
 The elder Bush is one of the few presidents in modern times not to have written a memoir. His books include "All the Best: My Life in Letters and Other Writings" and "A World Transformed," a collaboration with former National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft.

 Former President George W. Bush has written a book on another onetime White House occupant: his father. 
 
 The currently untitled biography of George H.W. Bush, 90, will be released in the U.S. and Canada in print and digital formats on Nov. 11, Crown Publishing Group said in a news release last night. 
 
 The book covers “the entire scope” of the elder Bush’s life, including “his service in the Pacific during World War II, his pioneering work in the Texas oil business, and his political rise as a congressman, U.S. representative to China and the United Nations, CIA director, vice president, and president,” according to the release. 
 
 The younger Bush, 68, also writes about his father’s influence on his own life, including his decision to enter politics, according to the release. Both are Republicans. 
 
 The hardcover edition will have a first printing of one million copies, and an audio edition will be simultaneously issued by Random House Audio, the release said. 
 
 “I loved writing the story of his life, and I hope others enjoy reading it,” the younger Bush said in a statement issued by Crown. 
 
 The elder Bush served two terms as vice president under President Ronald Reagan and then succeeded him in the White House after winning the 1988 election. He lost his re-election bid in 1992 to Bill Clinton.

 Texas Governor 
 
 The younger Bush began his political career by winning the Texas governorship in 1994 and then was elected president in 2000. He won re-election in 2004. 
 
 His memoir “Decision Points” was published by Crown in 2010. His father has not penned a memoir, though books he has written include “A World Transformed,” which he co-authored with Brent Scowcroft, who served as his national security adviser. 
 
 George H.W. Bush, the 41st president, and George W. Bush, the 43rd, were the second father and son to each win the presidency. John Adams served as the second U.S. president; his son John Quincy Adams was the sixth. Each held the office for one term and lost re-election bids. 
 
 Another of the elder Bush’s children, Jeb Bush, is a former governor of Florida who is a potential contender for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

– George W. Bush has been keeping himself busy writing about the other George Bush to have occupied the White House. The Crown Publishing Group says the younger George's biography of his father will be released this November and will cover "the entire scope" of the 41st president's life, taking in "his service in the Pacific during World War II, his pioneering work in the Texas oil business, and his political rise as a congressman, US representative to China and the United Nations, CIA director, vice-president, and president," as well as his influence on his son's life, Bloomberg reports. "George HW Bush is a great servant, statesman, and father," George W. Bush said in a statement issued by the publisher, which plans a first run of a million copies. "I loved writing the story of his life, and I hope others enjoy reading it." Two years ago, George W. started writing the story of the second father and son in history to have both occupied the White House and had plenty of input from family members, including his dad, the AP reports. The younger George published his memoir, Decision Points, in 2010, but the elder Bush has never written a memoir of his own. There's no title yet for Bush's book—and since George W. apparently "borrowed" much of Decision Points from other sources, he should take care to remember that Dreams From My Father has already been taken.
