Michael Jackson’s estate has been given permission to enter into book deals following the superstar’s death.

A judge in California today gave the estate’s administrators the green light to reprint Jackson’s autobiography Moonwalk.

The book was originally published back in 1988, and is now set to hit bookshelves again in the US, Canada, France, Germany and the UK.

In papers filed at Los Angeles Superior Court, the administrators do not pull any punches about Jackson’s earning power following his death last month.

“The Special Administrators believe that it is in the best interest of the Estate for all book-publishing agreements to be entered [into] as soon as possible, as sales of the book and profits for the estate will be maximised the sooner the book is released, due to the notoriety surrounding Michael Jackson’s unexpected death and the resulting heightened demand for such products,” the documents state.
