More Michael Jackson Books on the Way

By Jenna Landers

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.

In the UK this week, publisher Harper Collins stole a march on their competitors, as their biographical tribute; "Michael Jackson - Legend, Hero, Icon", went to print. A study into the man behind Thriller, the fully illustrated hardback is set to hit stores across the country on 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.

However, it is not the first of the Michael Jackson books to hit the shelves globally.

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.

The delay also allowed author, Ian Halperin, the opportunity to rewrite the final chapter of course.

The first completely new book since his untimely death is most likely to be found in China. Appearing in stores from Saturday July 7, two writers worked tirelessly over a 48 hour period to deliver the copy.

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.

At a time when all businesses are struggling, this sudden, unexpected rush for Michael Jackson books will please publishers, bookstore owners and authors alike. Even in death, Michael Jackson turns a pretty penny for numerous third parties. - 18424
