This is a hardcover first edition, first printing of this enjoyable 160-page tribute to the iconic actress, documented in page after page of delightful black-and-white and color photographs from her life and screen and stage careers.
The original price, as shown on the dustjacket front flap, was $24.95.
From the dustjacket blurb:
"From the beginning of her modeling career in 1944 as Norma Jeane Mortensen to her death as the voluptuous Hollywood icon in 1962, Marilyn Monroe posed for thousands of modeling and publicity photos, scores of which have long been forgotten or abandoned in neglected studio archives.
"This book collects 150 of the rarest, seldom previously seen, images, including photographs of her brief modeling career, and early days at [the] 20th Century Fox lot, as well as candids captured between-scenes . . . and while she traveled as a public figure during her marriages to Arthur Miller and Joe DiMaggio.
"For the Monroe fans who think they have seen it all, this book
will provide a new lens on a beloved American icon."
The book is in fine, collectible condition, with no torn or bent pages, no scratches, stains or inscriptions, no remainder marks, no price-clipping, no bookplate, no ex-library, no book club edition, no flaws of any sort. It is as new, with the publisher's review letter laid in (see sixth photo).
The dustjacket is in equally fine shape and is protected in a clear and removable archival cover.
