More than 45 years
after her death Marilyn Monroe continues to be the subject of countless
new books. I prefer to collect photo books, especially photos that were previously unreleased. I don't really buy biographies anymore because it is typically the same material told over and over again. I also don't buy the "cover-up theory" kind of books.
I prefer to celebrate Marilyn for her life than the way she died.
I have been lucky enough to acquire several autographed books. The George Barris autograph is my favourite because I actually got to meet
him and obtain it in person. A close second is the book Jimmie Dougherty signed for
me through mail. Next to the autographs, I am also proud of contributing
to and/or being acknowledged in a couple of books.
I
hope Marilyn book collectors will find this information useful. I
have included cover scans of all the books. Each page below includes detailed information about
the book including a review and where it can be purchased.
