Moonwalk, originally acquired by then-Doubleday editor Jackie Kennedy Onassis and published in 1988, will be reissued in October by Random House Inc. with a first printing of 100,000 copies. On July 23, executors of the singer’s estate filed papers in a Los Angeles court stating that book deals should be reached “as soon as possible” in order to capitalize on “the notoriety surrounding Michael Jackson’s unexpected death” and ensure that “profits for the Estate will be maximized.” Speak Out
