What is nice about Marilyn Monroe: Cover to Cover is the large amount of foreign magazine covers that are included, many which may have never been seen by American audiences before, from countries like Italy, France, England, Sweden, and Japan. Marilyn made global impact early on. Unfortunately the author either doesn't know or hasn't been able to determine how early shots of model Norma Jeane made their way to foreign publications. A little history of her modeling career and how magazine covers and modeling agencies worked in the late '40s and early '50s would have been appreciated. Some of Marilyn's most famous covers seem to be missing, too, and there must have been many more gossip magazines devoted to her and Joe DiMaggio than are on display here.

Great compilation of Marilyn cover magazines from all over the world during her life until 1962.
It is beautiful to have a look how many countries loved her.
I do not give a 5-star rate because I missed some covers after her passing as there have been many.
