    5.0 out of 5 stars Must Own Book For All Marilyn Monroe Fans!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2013

    This is a beautifully crafted book.
    Which has many, but not all of Marilyn's own belongings, which went up for sale in 1999.
    This book is considered a catalogue.
    Well it's the biggest catalogue I've ever seen.
    That has items that once belonged to the worlds most famous movie star in the 20th century.
    As you turn the pages you begin to wonder if Marilyn would've approved of all this.
    I think not.
    Then you find just how many sides there were of Marilyn.
    The star, the housewife, the causal dresser.etc.
    And believe me Marilyn had her own style of fashion.
    Such good taste.
    If anything Norma jean was a master at creating Marilyn Monroe time and time again.
    This book has about 415 pages.
    And worth buying and adding to your collection of Marilyn Monroe books.

    This book is really cool for any Marilyn fan to see what she owned. I was very surprised she didn't own any real diamonds. All her jewelry was rhinestones and nice costume jewelry. How sad. She deserved real diamonds and nice things. Interesting book to see what was auctioned off and what people paid for her items.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Glimpse of Marilyn The Person Through her Belongings
    Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    I had been looking at this book for a while, and finally decided to purchase it. It is a must have for the Marilyn fan. You get an idea of Marilyn that's not from her movies, but from her real life, the clothes she wore, her furniture, and decor. I have a B.A. in Anthropology and when you look at archaeology, you put together a story about a person through the tangible items they left behind. This book allows the reader to piece together an idea of a person through her belongings. This was the Auction Catalog for her personal property sold at Christie's. I really enjoy the quality of the book. I bought a used copy, but the dustcover is in great condition, and the only markings were an inscription on the first page, which doesn't bother be because these were published once for the auction and hard to come by. If you enjoy Marilyn Monroe and are intrigued by her life, you will really enjoy this book.

    It was very interesting to be able to see the things Marilyn owed and cherished. The actual auction is over, so you can’t purchase any of items shown. I do know that Mariah Carey bought the small white piano that Marilyn treasured.
