I admit that I was a bit skeptical when I bought this book but to my surprise this was a fantastic book. It is filled with tons of pictures and information about Cher's life and career. I have been a fan since the Sonny and Cher show, collecting all kinds of memorbelia and this had information in it that I never knew before. It is a true must have for any Cher fan !

Finally die hard Cher fans can now own a book with all the answers to the questions that have always been on your mind.Each page is filled with interesting info on the Diva herself.The pictures(and there are many of them) are beautiful,and some can even be removed and framed for display! The book is easy reading...but interesting reading.It touches on everything from Chers personal life to her life as a celebrity.The stories themselves are very detailed,and not vague as would be in rag magazines.The info is from Cher herself.I recomend this book to all.It promises to be informative and extremely enjoyable!

The Cher Scrapbook was an item on my Amazon Wishlist until my friend Chellie bought it for me for my Birthday. I'm forever grateful to her, for doing this. That's what I love about Amazon Wishlists! And, this book is a gift that keeps on giving, because it's packed with oodles of Photos of Cher & loads of information I never knew about. I've been a Cher fan since 1980 and haven't learned so much about Cher until 2005! Seriously, Mary Anne Cassata talks about Cher's wigs, collectible toys, Cher impersonators, fan clubs, rare & out of print music and all kinds of interesting stuff, including Cher's most personal quotes & info on her romances. There's just so much to learn about Cher, it's not even funny. And, many times, the fans & media turn a deaf ear to the real woman behind Cher, stalking her for publicity photos & tabloid trash. If they only knew the real woman behind the face...

About the Author

When my package arrived in the mail, I wasn't ready for such a thick carton. And the book itself is quite big, measuring at 8.5" X 10.75" and exactly .5" thick. That's quite good for the price! Due to the weight of the book and the glossy cover, it's easy to drop the item while reading it, which can crease the cover or pages. I haven't dropped mine, but I'm saying it as a precaution. The Cher Scrapbook is a unique conversation piece or coffee table book, because it will certainly win over the reader with one look. Let me get one thing straight. I'm not one for tabloid trash & being a paparazzi toward a celeb, but I did enjoy the much "lesser-seen" photos of Cher without her wigs and makeup. She's a normal woman like anyone else, with a 40 year career to back up her life-story. Mary Anne Cassata knows Cher personally, so I don't mind reading the info from a 2nd party.

There are minor errors in the book (you find them yourself). I don't want to be a spoiler. The photos alone make this book worth owning...and it's a great gift for any Cher fan, old & young alike. The book has 207 pages with writing or images on them. I recommend you buy the book brand new, rather than 2nd hand. It's a high-gloss and looks pretty impressive. Order it for yourself and you'll agree, this book is a fantastic addition to any Cher fan's Memorabilia or book collection. I also recommend Cher's Autobiography "The First Time", in hard or softcover.

Mary Anne Cassata has compiled a true fan's book about one of America's most interesting and endearing popular culture icon: Cher. It contains more than 200 pages of Cher images over the years and that in itself is a trip down memory lane. From the early days to the release of "Living Proof" the book is a plethora of information and fun tidbits. My only gripe is the factual errors, or opinions stated as fact that appear in the book. However, let's not quibble. All is well-intentioned, and overall it is a Cher fan MUST HAVE!

Kudos to a job well done and now everyone should rush to order it.

This book was great. Going over the life of one of world's favorite people...CHER. The collection of photos and stories of the icon was awesome. I love the book and I can't put it down, cause it's so good.

This is a great overview of Cher's Celebrity Career. Lots and lots of great photos. Answers to all the gossipy questions that have been floating around for years! I also purchased the Elton John Scrapbook, and it is much better only because there was a section on his music, describing the songs and circumstances with each of his albums. The Cher Scrapbook could have benefited with a musical section similar to that. Overall, very entertaining.

A Great Testamony to Chers Awesome Career! A must have.

If you're a Cher Lover you should already have this collection of pictures, info and facts about the greatest Diva of all time. It's really cheap for having tons & tons of pictures inside. I highly 100% recommend it!

Hey Guys! I'm a huge Russian Cher fan from Saint-Petersburg and just ordered this book at Amazon.com! WOOHOOO! I am so excited!!! I just can't control myself and overcome with emotions! I love the one and only Cher!!! I believe! I can't wait to get this book!!! I'll definitely 'cher' all my thoughts with you!

I have been a cher fan for 31 years and was happy to get this book due to some rare pics of her, but reading thru this book I couldnt help notice quite alot of misinformation about her, especially items that I have heard cher talk about and deny but this book still states it as fact. Although this person maybe a cher fan as well who wrote it I think some of the information was taken from the tabloids due to inaccuracy. I think any PURE cher fan will understand what I mean when reading this book. Other than that I LOVE the pics
