This little book may be small in size but has over 400 pages of pictures, stories, and quotes about the legendary Marilyn Monroe. Many have asked what it is about this one person that continues to captivate audiences over 40 years after her death. Books like this capture the beauty, innocence, and talent that intrigues fans to this day. Full of rare and high quality photo, The Marilyn Handbook is a great addition to any fan's collection.

I absolutley LOVE this book...it is packed with so much information...i would consider it a must have for Marilyn fans!!!

This book should have been written in a large tome, not as a pocket book, as it contains lots of information about Marilyn Monroe, with lots rare pictures and new information. It's good for quick reference to those who are interested in Monroe and want quick access to something in particular concerning her life, films and trivia.

_The Marilyn Handbook_ is well-named; it's a first-rate place to go for quick lookups on facts and quotes relating to the one and only Marilyn Monroe. Biographical timelines (on the endpapers), concise data on her movies, sketches of the various phases of her life, and lots and lots of pictures in color and B&W (and some of these were new to me when I first saw them; honestly, will people ever be able to stop finding new images of Marilyn?) It doesn't compare, of course, to ultra-comprehensive reference works like _The Marilyn Encyclopedia_, but then it's not supposed to; on its own ground, it can't be beat for the times when you just need to look up something fast about Marilyn.

I bought this book for my son for his birthday. He's a huge Marilyn Monroe fan. And he never stops flipping through the book.

A real treat for those Marilyn fans out there!!
