In the US Doubleday has already scheduled a biography of John Paul's successor, the former cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, for May, along with a collection of the new Pope's writings.
But it can be a gamble.
When broadcaster John Peel died suddenly in October 2004, the quick appearance of two unofficial biographies provoked protest.
His brother labelled the release of two books within six weeks of his death, in time for Christmas shopping, "unseemly ambulance chasing".
"The unauthorised biography is always a strange animal, whether the person is alive or dead," says Larry Finlay, managing director of Transworld, which is due to publish the official version of John Peel's biography, Jesus Wasn't Made Of Fish, in October.
"The John Peel one felt a bit tacky because everyone knew his autobiography was coming but sadly he was unable to finish it.
"The family was upset - they felt 'thanks, but no thanks, this isn't what John would have wanted'."
