This past Monday, a new book hit the market for all the raging Michael Jackson fans to blow a wad of cash on, and judging by the piece that the L.A. Times published, it looks like quite the collector’s item. Above is a glimpse of Jackson dressed like Charlie Chaplin, one of the many series of unseen photographs featured in the coffee table book. With a hefty price tag of $249, the book is intended to be a “visual greatest hits” of MJ’s career, coming in the form of a 400-page leather-bound collection that’s the only work given the official blessing by MJ’s estate since his death. Additionally, the book features essays about MJ written by Shaquille O’Neal, Motown founder Berry Gordy, magician David Blaine, choreographer/ex-”American Idol” judge Paula Abdul, former backup dancer (and ex-husband of Jennifer Lopez) Cris Judd, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and “Thriller” director John Landis. That’s a lot of ish. Click here\ to buy the book - though it’s pricey, consider it a holiday present to yourself.
