More Michael Jackson Books Hit the Shelves
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.
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.
"Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson", written by Ian Halperin was scheduled to go to print on July 30, (again to take advantage of the late singer's comeback tour). A so called "tell all" expos, this clearly aims to satisfy the thirst of less respectful readers.
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.
That one of these writers, Jiang Xiaoyu, remains an ardent fan of the star, the book, "Moonwalk in Paradise", is clearly a salute to the brilliance he shone onto the world. However, the authors admit that mistakes may have been made in validity of content; relying very much on personal thoughts, supported by internet based research.
These Michael Jackson books may well be the first to hit the shelves, but there will be more. Whilst the book industry has not been damaged as severely as other industries throughout this recession, this boost to sales will be a welcome shot in the arm. - 18424
