Title: A slightly biased review
Product review: Knowing the author, I'm not qualified to provide a completely objective review of this book. I can only tell you that it graces my bookshelf with pride, is well-thumbed, and has provided hours of enjoyment. In contrast with another reviewer's opinion here on Amazon, I love the original pencil drawings and the photographs created by Mr. Vitacco-Robles. I don't want to see the same old photos published in dozens of other sources. The writing is clear, crisp, and affectionate, and refreshingly free of the trite sensationalism so common in other writings on Marilyn. It's true that the production quality of the book is only average, but with any luck the author will be able to contract with another publisher when his current contract expires next year. My respect for my friend Gary is quite high, and I'm awed at his wonderful ability to create such a personal, original work. This book is a bargain at twice the price.
