Best wishes for 2007 !!
Suus

Wonderful Suus! Best wishes for 2007 to you too !

I need to get my hands on a lot of these books.

I may have missed it in this post, but i did try to look through the rest of the replies, but there is also:

Norma Jean: The Life of Marilyn Monroe
by Fred Lawrence Guiles

link here for book cover: http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/9826/f4...22bc9401ex0.jpg


The version i have actually looks different than this one. It was published sometime in the 1980s i believe it states in my book. I haven't finished it just yet, i was wondering if anyone else had read it?

More on that book here http://www.everlasting-star.net/boards/ind...1&hl=guiles

nice! thank you!

My Story - Marilyn Monroe (The 2006 Edition)
I still havn't gotten my copy!

The cover is lovely! I love the Bauman session.

The german edition of the Marilyn Handbook by Mike Evans.

Some Finnish book covers:
Spoto's Biography (Marilyn Monroe)
Zolotow's biography (Marilyn Monroen elämä)
My Story (Nuoruuteni)
Churchwell: The Many Lives Of Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn Monroen monta elämää)

I love the drawing on My Story - beautiful.

Me too! I think it's really well done

Yet another Finnish book cover - and actually so far the only Finnish MM book, Marilyn - alaston naamio by Antti Alanen. This is the cover of the first edition, I have the newer revised edition which has a different cover.

Is it a biographie?

Not actually. It concentrates on her movies and describes also her movie star persona. It's been a long time since I last read that book, I really should read it again. There are also a lot of b&w pictures, a list of all her movies with some information, and a list of Marilyn books (the newer edition lists 176 books). I think the first edition is from 1982, and the newer, revised one from 1996.
