Marilyn Monroe 100 is the must-have commemorative book for Marilyn's millions of multi-generational and cross-cultural fans, for devotees of Hollywood’s Golden Age, and for fashionistas who prize her timeless appeal. As glamorous as the star herself, the book is large, with gilt edges and spot-gold printing inside.

A century after her birth, Marilyn Monroe is as mesmeric now as she was in life. Marilyn Monroe 100 is the book to mark this once in a lifetime occasion.
