This has been, for some years, the classic MM photography book. The selection of photos is superb - alas, almost all are in black-and-white. Perhaps someday this will be reprinted with more of the photographs in color.

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 20^th 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.
