The collector’s edition tribute featuring Michael Jackson sold-out days before the book was scheduled to be released, according to the trade paperback’s publisher, Bluewater Productions. A second-printing is being rushed to fulfill orders; Tribute: Michael Jackson, King of Pop hit comic shops, newsstands, and online sites last Wednesday, and already requires a second printing.“We knew it would be a popular title, but even we were surprised how fast the book sold,” said Bluewater president, Darren Davis. “We leaked pages to different sites, shared them with fans, and they decided this is a book worth owning.”
A second-printing of the book will be released with a new cover by Giuseppe Mazzola from Jackson’s official fan club. Mazzola also provided the foreword to the expanded 30-page edition.
“This is a celebration of his life and what he meant to a legion of fans,” Davis added. “Although the book won’t shy away from some of his personal troubles, we try to tell a balanced story that shows Jackson as a musical genius, an unparalleled superstar and a complex person.”
The newest addition to the publisher's critically acclaimed biography library traces Jackson’s rise as a musical prodigy with the Jackson 5, through his tragic passing in June. The book features highlights from his storied career, and covers his enigmatic private life
