Instant Michael Jackson books coming

NEW YORK — The “instant” books on Michael Jackson are coming soon.

People and Life magazine each are preparing commemorative editions, due in August. Tribute books from Triumph Books and Whitman Publishing, both titled “Michael Jackson,” are due by the end of the week.

Ian Halperin, who has written about such musicians as Kurt Cobain and Celine Dion, had been working on a Jackson book when the singer died last week. Halperin’s book, “Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson,” is due in late July.
