Marilyn Monroe: Cover to Cover Reviews:
Excellent 
2009-04-03 - This is a great book. Tons of pics of Marilyn on covers of magazines. Thus, a lot of never before seen photos. The pictures aren't big though. I enjoyed it so I am looking for the first edition, as this is the second. But I can't find the first edition.
The First Edition is 100% Better! 
2008-07-15 - This is a great book, and for the price, you can't go wrong, but the genuine article is the first edition from 1999. Much nicer covers, beautiful color prints. If you only buy one, the first edition is a MUST for any Marilyn Monroe fan!
Our most stunning cover girl
2007-03-20 - This thoroughly unique and enjoyable approach to the documentation of Marilyn's career is a comprehensive collection of magazine covers from all around the world, featuring her throughout her career. The whole is an eclectic gathering of photos highlighting her metamorphosis from unknown young model to luminous superstar.
Although many of the more well known American covers are absent, there is plenty here to satisfy! The variety and sheer number of colorful covers is impressive. The memorable quotes that accompany so many of the covers capture the essence of her endearing personality without being an actual biography, and the timeline is a good but brief overview of many of the important events in her life.
Although I am not an avid collector of MM memorabilia, I'm sure the pricing information would be valuable to those who are. I found comparing the various values to be very interesting reading. I can only imagine the painstaking work that went into identifying each of these photos and determining the worth of each cover.
This would be a welcome and unique addition to any MM library - highly recommended!
GREAT PHOTOS OF MARILYN!
2007-03-11 - This is an unusual outstanding picture book.
Marilyn in unforgetable pictures.
Thank you!
The epitome of class!
2007-03-11 - I absolutely loved this book! It was fantastic. Marilyn Monroe was such a beautiful, talented person and this book definitely shows it. The pictures are sharp and bright and the captions are wonderful. The variety is nothing short of impressive. I highly recommend this "coffee table book" to any Monroe fan!
