	Marilyn Monroe by Graham McCann Publication: Rutgers University Press. 1988. USA. ISBN: 0-8135-1302-2. Details: Hardback. 219 pages. Contains: 8 pages of photos (b&w). Bibliography (references). Index.
	Marilyn Monroe by Graham McCann Publication: Rutgers University Press. 1988. USA. ISBN: 0-8135-1303-0. Details: Softback. 219 pages. Contains: 8 pages of photos (b&w). Bibliography (references). Index. This is identical to the original hardback edition.
	Marilyn Monroe by Graham McCann Publication: Polity Press / Basil Blackwell. 1988. UK. ISBN: 0-7456-0379-3. Details: Hardback. 219 pages. Contains: 8 pages of photos (b&w). Bibliography (references). Index. This British hardback edition does not differ from the U.S. edition.
	My Story by Marilyn Monroe Publication: Stein & Day. 1974. USA. ISBN: 0-8128-1707-9. Details: Hardback. 143 pages. Contains: 2 photographs (sepia-tone) on the endpapers. Though purportedly an autobiography, this is generally thought to have been written by screenwriter Ben Hecht, who published a series of articles about Marilyn in The Empire News (British publication) in 1954. The material in this book, though copyrighted by Milton Green, is reportedly very similar to the text of those articles (I personally have not seen them). This is a must-have if only because it is the only Marilyn autobiography, genuine or not, ever published.
	My Story by Marilyn Monroe Publication: Stein & Day. 1976. USA. ISBN: 0-8128-2112-X. Details: Softback. 143 pages. Contains: No photographs. Identical to the hardback first edition, with the exception that there are no endpaper photos, the cover background is warm pink instead of beige, and the inside of the front cover contains a 1-page review of the book from the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

	Further Reading Other books that, though listed under different categories (or not available to me at this time), contain a considerable amount of biographical information: My Sister Marilyn by Berniece Baker Miracle This book by Marilyn's half-sister contains a wealth of biographical information about Marilyn's childhood. The Life and Curious Death of Marilyn Monroe by Robert Slatzer As the title suggests, Slatzer's well-known book offers a good deal of information on Marilyn's life in addition to the investigation into her death. All of the books in the Equal Mix section of this web site contain a fair amount of biographical information.
