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.
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.
However, it is not the first of the Michael Jackson books to hit the shelves globally.
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 also allowed author, Ian Halperin, the opportunity to rewrite the final chapter of course.
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.
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. - 18418
