More Michael Jackson Books on the Way
There have been many words written about Michael Jackson throughout his life. As the tarnished star is finally laid to rest, the number of dedicated Michael Jackson books is set to increase exponentially. Whether these will be celebratory of his limitless talent, critiques of the man and his music, or conversations into his eccentric and explosive private life, there is sure to be something to cater for all tastes.
For the millions of loyal supporters, UK publisher Harper Collins will become the biggest house to launch its effort. Delivered from concept to print in just 3 weeks, "Michael Jackson - Legend, Hero, Icon", is set to go straight to the top of the bestsellers as it hits UK markets Friday July 17.
With a subtitle of, "A tribute to the King of Pop", the tone of the book is reflective on the successes of Jackson's career as the best entertainer the world has ever witnessed. Mindful that many thousands of fans are still coming to terms with the loss; particularly with the timing just weeks before his "This Is It", tour, this is unsurprising.
Whilst Harper Collins pulled out all the stops to get the book to print, (hiring a freelance author to write 10, 000 words of new material in just 48 hours), it is not the first of new Michael Jackson books made available.
A book long in the making, "Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson", was originally scheduled to go to print the day after the creator of the Moonwalk's death. It was delayed for a week as a mark of respect to the grieving family. Though respect did not seem to be much of an issue when the book was originally conceived and written; being rich in conjuncture and rumor.
Publishers Simon & Schuster Adult Publishing Group moved the roll date back by a week, apparently in respect of the Jackson family. That the additional closing chapter was written prior to its new print date of July 14 suggest this was exploited; whether a valid reason or otherwise.
As if a reflection on the Peter Pan of Pop's global fan base, it is widely regarded the first completely new round of Michael Jackson books was published in China on July 7.
Unlike Halperin's effort, "Moonwalk in Paradise" is the work of two dedicated Michael Jackson fans, and is clearly a celebration of his life. One of the authors, Jiang Xiaoyu, does admit it may contain a few errors however; pointing to the time constraints they worked under, and their personal approach to research.
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. - 18780
