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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
