Summary

Michael Jackson's one and only autobiography: the King of Pop in his own words.Moonwalk is the only book about his life that Michael Jackson ever wrote. It chronicles his humble beginnings in the Midwest, his early days with the Jackson 5, and his unprecedented solo success. Giving absolutely unrivalled insight into the King of Pop's life, it details his songwriting process for hits like Beat It, Rock With You, Billie Jean, and We Are the World; describes how he developed his signature dance style, including the Moon Walk; and opens the door to his very private personal relationships with his family, including sister Janet, and stars like Diana Ross, Berry Gordy, Marlon Brando, Quincy Jones, Paul McCartney, and Brooke Shields. At the time of its original publication in 1988, MOONWALK broke the fiercely guarded barrier of silence that surrounded Michael Jackson. Candidly and courageously, Jackson talks openly about his wholly exceptional career and the crushing isolation of his fame, as well as the unfair rumors that have surrounded it. MOONWALK is illustrated with rare photographs from Jackson family albums and Michael's personal photographic archives, as well as a drawing done by Michael exclusively for the book. It reveals and celebrates, as no other book can, the life of this exceptional and beloved musician.

Description:
This is a genuine 1988 Doubleday first edition of Michael Jackson's Moonwalk — one of the bestselling celebrity memoirs ever published. The signature appearing on the title page is a printed facsimile included in the original press run, not a hand-signed autograph. This is stated clearly so there is no ambiguity. What you are receiving is an authentic first edition hardcover of a landmark book in outstanding condition, with dust jacket intact and light yellowing consistent with its age.
The book is part of the estate of Captain Thomas Goode, a Black U.S. Air Force officer whose collection is being liquidated through his designated beneficiary, Joanne O'Donnell. Note: the facsimile signature is not covered by the collection's notarized affidavit, which applies only to hand-signed books.
