Marvelous Marilyn

Marilyn Monroe: Metamorphosis is one of my favorite coffee table books on Marilyn . This book is loaded with a ton of great photographs of Marilyn,from her youth through her last years. The book also includes quotes from various people from Hollywood, as well as the star herself. You get both color and black and white pics on good quality, glossy paper. Overall, this is a great book for any Marilyn fan's collection.
