I can't read books on the computer because I don't get as involved with them like I could with a hardback..

yeah I'm the same I'd much rather curl up with an actual book, I'm a huge book nerd but since I didn't have any other way to read it, I did read the ebook for Moonwalk, and it had me SO engrossed from the very beginning that I really didn't mind anymore

I am still very much looking forward to finally holding my actual copy in my hands next month though

I just got the Dancing the Dream book in the mail a few days ago (wow is all I can say) Michael's writing is so freakin amazing

I had to read the ebook of Moonwalk as well and it was so good but I can not wait to get the actual book

For anybody in the US that is trying to get Michael's dancing the dream here is a website you can go to to order it (that is what I did) it is the rereleased version and it is new not some used copy (this was the only place really I could find it where they were not trying to sell it for hundreds of dollars)I paid $22 for the book and that included shipping. It took about 2 weeks to get I suspect they had to order it from England but this way you have a hard copy of Michael's book and not having to just read the ebook.

The website is
superbookdeals.com

Hope that helps with anybody that wants to read the book

Hmm that new book thing that Val posted sounds interesting. Given the estate and everything, I'd imagine a publisher would be quick to snatch it up.

I think I have PDF files of Moonwalk and Dancing the Dream on one of my hard drives. I'll have to look into getting hard copy versions.

And I agree about not trusting other authors. I see so many books now that have been re-released and revised since MJ's passing, but I refuse to buy them. I barely even skim them at the bookstore.

Same. I've looked through a lot of them just to look at the pictures but I'm not even starting with actually reading them.

Especially since even the supposedly accurate/good ones have been revised with tabloid-y crap from the latter years.

I refuse to read something about Michael unless, he himself, wrote it.. I won't waste my money on biographies from that Halperin dude or not even that Tamborelli dude.. I'll just read the ones that Michael wrote himself.

I was in a book fair today and I searched the whole place, they didn't have any of Michael's books I want to buy them so bad

I did buy a book/tribute, I'm not sure yet how good it is, cause I haven't actually read it yet, but it looks fairly honest and it has lots of pics now I have to keep looking for Moonwalk and Dancing the Dream.

That's too bad that you couldn't find them! I guess your best bet would be ordering them online

Let us know how that book is once you've read it! I'm definitely interested in reading more MJ books, I just don't want to take a chance and buy a few random ones because I just know I'll only end up annoyed with how things in them are depicted. But if any of you here can recommend some, I'd trust your judgement of course

I've been looking everywhere But I'll just order them from that site

Ugh, but I was in Borders yesterday and I saw this book that made me SO angry I took the book and turned it around so you couldn't see the cover
