Michael Jackson Books Give Bookstores A Welcome Boost
As with most true megastars, Michael Jackson has provided food and drink to authors and leading publishers the world over. In death too, this culture is set to continue, and indeed increase for many years to come, as a host of Michael Jackson books start appearing in bookstores.
Whilst not the first book to appear, "Michael Jackson - Legend, Hero, Icon", published by Harper Collins is certainly the most structured publication, despite it taking such a short turnaround. Currently being printed, UK fans can expect to have a copy as early as Friday July 17.
Whilst conspiracies into his death and stories about his very public private life will come out over time; this tribute is very much a reflection on the good he was responsible for, and actively aligns itself with the King of Pop's legion of followers.
That this book is not the first to be published however, is indicative of how hectic activity has been behind the scenes at publishing houses worldwide.
This can be seen with the publishing on July 14 of "Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson". Almost prophetic, author Ian Halperin had painstakingly studied the decline in Jackson's health over recent years. The book may well contain some interesting revelations; including comments regards the singer's lack of confidence in his "This Is It" tour. Delayed from print due to Jackson's sudden death, this could well corner a significant share of the market.
The delay in printing, said to be out of a mark of respect to the Jackson family, also allowed Halperin to close his book more conclusively than even he could have imagined.
This still is not the first of the latest Michael Jackson books since his death to hit the shelves however, (not publishing until July 14). For that, we need to look to China, where a biography has been on sale since Saturday July 7.
However, that "Moonwalk in Paradise" was researched, written, and available for sale just days after Jackson drew his final breath raises questions over its true value. By the authors' own admission, it is more an outpouring of their feelings than any solidly researched piece of prose.
There will be many more Michael Jackson books appearing over time. Whilst early versions will focus on what we know about him, later copies should uncover the story behind his death; which will attract an even wider audience. - 18762
