"Bought for my wife"
I bought this for my wife who is interested in all things Marilyn Monroe. She really enjoyed the book and read it cover to cover. Must admit, it looks like a very well put together collection.

My mum loves Marilyn so I got her this for her birthday and she absolutely loved it. It is a beautiful book and quite an intimate look into the mind of heart of an inspirational woman, just lovely.
