Product Description
Product Description
MICHAEL JACKSON: THE MAKING OF THRILLER is an illustrated tribute to the King of Pop and his groundbreaking music video, with never-before-seen photos of its creation. The book will feature 200 exclusive, behind-the-scenes photographs of the artist on set during the 1983 production of the Grammy award winning video directed by John Landis. Considered to be the most successful project of all time, Thriller is beloved the world over, inspiring imitation and a cult-like following of millions of fans. Documenting the creation of the most popular and iconic music video of all time, this book will celebrate the artist and his music at the top of his career. Celebrated photographer Douglas Kirkland and journalist Nancy Griffin were the only members of the media allowed on the set of the video. The resulting photos capture Jackson both in high performance mode and relaxing on the set and depict his transformation into the characters in the video as well capturing the public and private faces of Michael Jackson. Compelling, intimate photos of the artist will be accompanied by interviews and quotes from musicians and celebrities. With a holographic cover that transforms the artist into his zombie character, the book will be an impressive gift to be treasured by fans and music lovers everywhere.

Wow, what can I say but this book is perfect and absolutely stunning !!!
I've been a Michael Jackson fan since 1983, and over the years have bought a lot of books on Michael. This last year has seen a lot of books released on Michael that are just cash-ins, that claim to have many unreleased photos of Michael and don't. Even the very expensive 'Official Michael Jackson Opus' claimed to have 95% unreleased photos, and contained many photos had already been seen in many books and magazines about Michael over the years.
Michael Jackson: The Making of "Thriller": 4 Days/1983 is really an amazing book, with more than 99.9% of photos of Michael that really haven't been seen before. The photos of Michael are brilliant, it's like your actually on the Thriller set with Michael, and if your a longtime fan like me, it really takes you back how how magical 1983 was. The books chapters are set on different phases of the of the Thriller video shoot. The text of the book is very complimentary about Michael.
The quality of the books is brilliant. It's a hardback book (which I wasn't expecting), and the front cover of the book is 3D hologram (which I also wasn't expecting). It looks and feels like a book that should cost no less than £35, and certainly the best ever book on Michael Jackson along with 'Before He Was King'.
This is a book every Michael Jackson should own, and also anyone who just loves music, music videos and wants to understand what a pop music icon is should buy this book.

It is said that a picture paints a thousand words and this book certainly proves the old adage. The photos document the making of 'Thriller' far more effectively than mere words ever could.
This is a stunning book, beautifully designed and although primarily a picture book, the accompanying text is sympathetically and sensitively written.
Every MJ fan will want to own this book and it is certainly something that I will treasure. You will not believe the quality of this book for the price, I would gladly have paid double for the hologram on the cover not to mention the beautiful picture of Michael biting his tongue, an absolute joy.
Buy it, you truly will not be sorry.

An amazing book of ultra rare photos from the Thriller short-film shoot, being a hardcore MJ fan since the beginning of the 80's these pics released at long last are a real treat and worth waiting for all these years. Possibly not official or given the thumbs up from the estate, I dont know but you would be missing out greatly if you didnt purchase this book if you are any kind of fan of the man, after receiving mine I purchased another copy just for the lenticular cover possibilities to be framed. Buy it now a snip at this price too.
