Further Reading

Other books that, though listed under different categories (or not available to me at this time), contain a good selection of photographs:

Marilyn: The Life, The Myth by GiovanniBattista Brambilla is an enormous book, published by Rizzoli, and contains a large number of photos.

Marilyn at Twentieth Century-Fox by Lawrence Crown contains an absolutely fabulous selection of photographs from the 20th Century-Fox archives, some quite rare.

Marilyn: The Ultimate Look at the Legend by James Haspiel is a photo-book/memoir by the well-known Marilyn fan and collector, and contains a wealth of uncommon photographs of Marilyn, including many of costume-tests from her movies.

Marilyn: A Neverending Dream by Gus Luitjers, though not printed on glossy stock, contains well-chosen, non-standard fare.

Marilyn by Norman Mailer, is a sort of "best of" for photographs of Marilyn, with all of the top photographers' work represented.
