It's illustrated with some 100 photos and sketches from Jackson's personal collection.

"The 1992 edition is out of print," Huang says.

"We worked closely with the estate at every stage, including choosing font sizes. So it's really a genuine version," Huang says.

The book is one of the two Jackson authored. The other is Moonwalk.

According to MJJCN.com, Jackson's biggest online fan club in China, the star said in 1995 that the poetry collection is actually more autobiographic than Moonwalk and reveals his innermost feelings.

He wrote in the book: "People ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It's like stepping into a river and joining the flow. Every moment in the river has its song. So, I stay in the moment and listen."

And about his dance, he says: "This world we live in is the dance of the creator ... On many an occasion when I'm dancing, I've felt touched by something sacred. In those moments, I've felt my spirit soar and become one with everything that exists."

Singer Beyonce says Jackson "has made a bigger impact on music than any other artist in the history of music".
