Say what you will about Michael Jackson—the man was well read. Apparently he was not only an avid reader, but had amassed a collection of 10,000 volumes in his library at Neverland Ranch. [Via Seattle PI]Perhaps it’s only appropriate, then, that a book commemorating the King of Pop’s more recent life and career is published more quickly than any other. Simon & Schuster Publishers has released today a 500,000-copy run of Ian Halperin’s Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson. The unauthorized biography was due to be released in honor of the 50th-anniversary comeback tour, but its publication date was rushed forward. [Via Canada.com]
Montreal publisher Pierre Turgeon says that in his many years in the book business he's never seen anything like the turnaround time of this biography. The publishers attribute the quick turnaround to their strong production team, efficient use of technology, and cooperation from suppliers. [Via Publisher's Weekly]
