Elizabeth Taylor is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful women ever. This collection of photographs focuses on her life with Richard Burton, when she was at the height of her beauty. Bozzacchi's photos are a mixture of famous pictures (such as the one on the cover) as well as some that are more rarely seen. My favorite picture is the one of Elizabeth holding the pearls over her eyes...her beauty is truly amazing!
Also recommended is "My Love Affair With Jewelry" by Elizabeth Taylor herself...the two books make for a definitive collection of pictures of Elizabeth.

I just recieved my copy of Elizabeth Taylor: The Queen and I" I think the book is completely engaing from cover to cover. Gianni's personal memories to the time when the pictures were taken, makes you feel as if your just that bit closer to Elizaebeth. Elizabeth is trully displayed as a human being, human or star, this woman radiates confidence, luxury, and beauty. My favorite picture in the book would have to be the one where she is running in the Dorchester Hotel, skirt all the way up, hair racing towards every directions, very free and bohemian feeling. I love this woman, not because she was for a large time Hollywood's calling card, or the worlds most beautiful woman. But because there is a purity in her eyes, and her soul can literally touch you through simple pictures. Anyone in doubt whether to get it or not, take my word, the book is worth any price, youll have alot of fun looking through it.

Gianni Bozzacchi's "Elizabeth Taylor: The Queen and I" is really is a treasure trove of photos from the Taylor-Burton years! It's one of three books that I consider my Dame Elizabeth "Bible's" - the other two being My Love Affair with Jewelry, and Bob Willoughby's Liz an Intimate Collection. In a way, Bozzacchi's book sort of starts up where Willoughby's ends. I was sort of disappointed when I bought the Bozzacchi book two years ago. It had fewer pages than I had anticipated, and at the time I was never really a fan of the late Burton years. I hadn't really seen any of her films from that period. But I found myself grabbing for that book first on my shelf, and I really adore it. I have also discovered the films from that time, like X Y and Zee, Secret Ceremony, Ash Wednesday, etc. and I love them! It was a completely different kind of glamour from the 1950s, but the clothes were stunning. And of course all that Taylor-Burton excess of diamonds, furs, and yachts were at their peak. It's a time that will never be repeated, for better or worse. I reccommend this book to any Dame Elizabeth Taylor fan!

This is a MUST have for any fan of the Great Elizabeth Taylor. There is not much to say, you HAVE to have this book.
the images are so beautiful and many of them very rare.
enjoy!

I love the cover of the book. The pictures I didn't like were the ones with Elizabeth in the bathtub And the pictures of the Author and his marriage This is a book about Elizabeth not Bozzacchi Overall, though I love this book. Elizabeth Taylor's beauty is dazzling right into her forties!!! That's amazing! This is one of my favorite Elizabeth Taylor books (and I have several).

This book is full of wonderful pictures of Elizabeth Taylor. Her fans will love it because many of the photographs have never been published before. These are pictures of a more mature Elizabeth, when she was in her late 30's and 40's. If you love Elizabeth Tyalor, you will love this book.

This book was purchased for a good friend and was sent to the other side of the world.It arrived in perfect condition and in the time that was promised.
I would purchase from this seller again.

While the pictures in this book are rare, beautiful, and intimate, I was disappointed that the editors did not catch two errors regarding Dame Elizabeth's fabulous jewels. First,the Krupp Diamond's name, now known as the Elizabeth Taylor Diamond, is misspelled ("Crup"), and most importantly, the beautiful picture of Elizabeth wearing her suite of emeralds, a gift from Richard Burton, is credited as the "rubies" gifted her by "Mike Todd."

very nice book amazing pictures and beautiful subject!!!
I just hoped to see more color photographs but it was really a pleasant journey..

This book by Gianni B. Is a fabulous tribute to the QUEEN OF HOLLYWOOD. I HAVE BOUGHT MOST OF THE CURRENT BOOKS ON DAME ELIZABETH & although all the photos are in black and white you can see the love in each photo. I miss seeing her stunning eyes in color but the candid shots Gianni took are priceless. I especially enjoyed the pictures of. Elizabeth with her children. A stunning cover too for the most beautiful woman ever. BRAVO GIANNI B.
