Carly Cook, Headline UK Non Fiction Publisher says: "We are thrilled to be publishing the first celebration of such an amazing artist. The book is going to be gorgeous and a fitting tribute to a legendary performer. It will be an absolute must-have for any Jackson fan. Jackson’s sudden and untimely death has created an outpouring of grief not seen since Princess Diana or Elvis. Jackson crossed the generations with his music and extraordinary choreography. Michael Jackson: Life of a Legend, will celebrate that talent. This book is not a tell-all, it is a fitting tribute to a legendary performer."
Destined to be a best seller for sure but will you be buying it?

And yes, I realise this is my second entry about Michael Jackson and I am still not a fan :P
Nope, I won't be buying it. To be honest I cant think of a single celebrity whose book I'd buy.
Probably.. personal life aside, I really did love Michael Jackson!
