Thriller Era Mike with Bad Era Mike picture on a book?

Hi I don't know where to post this. So please pardon me. But I found this picture on Tumblr. Hmm.. tell me if it's a Bad Era MJ on that book.

Thankyou!

On the pic in the book or MJ looking at the book. The MJ standing is def around '85, totally. I can't see the book enough...what are YOU thinking???

This is bad Era, the book is "Moonwalk" Michael's autobiography. It looks to me as if they're planning the cover, so yeah I'd say around '85.

I call that the "Thr-ad" era,
