Michael Jackson TM `The Official Michael Jackson Opus` (Book) The first new book about Michael Jackson sanctioned by his estate will be published on December 7, 2009. It will be entitled 'The Official Michael Jackson Opus'. Publisher is Kraken Opus, whose opulent publications focus on major figures and brands in sports and the arts. A definitive photographic tribute with exclusive and unseen images, and words and essays by those who knew him and worked with him. "Michael wanted this to be accessible to as many people as possible."
Kraken Opus will accept pre-orders for the book at michaeljacksonopus.com, michaeljackson.com and through Ticketmaster. Negotiations for the book project started last year already when Kraken reached out to Michael Jackson through attorney Peter Lopez. Initially, the plan was to include the concerts at London's O2 Arena. "We wanted to tell the behind-the-scenes story of Michael Jackson the entertainer." While Michael was in rehearsals, he invited Kraken executives to his house in Los Angeles (USA). When Fowler mentioned they were working on a Disney Opus, Michael reacted "like a boy in a sweet shop. He asked if he could contribute and get a copy." Lopez says Michael Jackson was impressed by the Opuses' "sense of grandeur" and "expressed a definite desire to get on board." But Lopez and Kraken were still in negotiations when Michael Jackson died June 25. They had to make changes to the book`s content and the chronicling of the London shows "will be sorely missed," Fowler says. "But everyone involved in that tour wants to take part." Celebrities and insiders who knew and worked with Michael Jackson also are expected to contribute. "We're asking people to write a sentence, a paragraph or a chapter," says Kraken's Jeff Wald. "We expect a huge turnout." All books include Michael Jackson Opus Reality membership, which provides access to interactive footage with periodic updates. Additionally, five copies signed by a variety of famous fans will be auctioned to benefit five charities favored by Michael. Go to here to see the book. Publisher: Karl Fowler
Architectural Digest has dedicated its November issue to Neverland Ranch. Rumor has it that Michael Jackson's family plans to turn Neverland Ranch into a Graceland-like tourist attraction, which will include a museum, a concert venue, and amusement park. Whether or not that's actually going to happen remains to be seen, but if you're curious about the King of Pop's 2,700-acre estate, Architectural Digest has dedicated its November issue (on sale September 30) to MJ's fantasy home. The magazine features rare shots of Neverland taken by photographer Harry Benson, who captured Jackson’s bedroom with its two life-size mannequins on pedestals – a girl wearing a British policeman’s hat and a Boy Scout touching hands – which form an archway leading to the door. A huge red throne-like chair ornately trimmed in gilt, featured on the issue’s cover, is next to the bed. Benson penned the second, more personal story about his experiences photographing Jackson over the years, including when he first met Jackson in 1984 during The Victory Tour and later visited Neverland in 1997.

Michael Jackson's 1988 autobiography, Moonwalk, will be released on October 13, 2009 by Harmony Books. Product Description “I’ve always wanted to be able to tell stories, you know, stories that came from my soul. I’d like to sit by a fire and tell people stories – make them see pictures, make them cry and laugh, take them anywhere emotionally with something as deceptively simple as words. I’d like to tell tales to move their souls and transform them. I’ve always wanted to be able to do that. Imagine how the great writers must feel, knowing they have that power. I sometimes feel I could do it. It’s something I’d like to develop. In a way, songwriting uses the same skills, creates the emotional highs and lows, but the story is a sketch. It’s quicksilver. There are very few books written on the art of storytelling, how to grip listeners, how to get a group of people together and amuse them. No costumes, no makeup, no nothing, just you and your voice, and your powerful ability to take them anywhere, to transform their lives, if only for minutes.” –Michael Jackson, in Moonwalk.
