Jackson book delivered hours before death
A BOOK about Michael Jackson, commissioned three years ago, was submitted to Finsbury-based independent publisher Old Street hours before the singer died, the company has revealed.
Neverland by Simon Crump is due out on August 11, after the publication date of at least two commemorative books commissioned by other publishers since Jackson’s death.
But Old Street managing director and publisher Ben Yarde-Buller is confident his book will still find customer demand, describing it as “an antidote to the glut of rushed hack jobs”.
The paperback will be priced £7.99. Old Street holds the world rights and is currently looking for an American publisher to take on the territorial rights.
Mr Yarde-Buller told The Bookseller magazine: “It’s amazing serendipity. It’s very nice when something happens that makes it a bit easier to get a great writer on people’s radars.” |
