This is one of the nicest books I have read in a long time.

It’s a compilation of essays exploring Marilyn’s status in cultures  across the world and features homages from her fans with their own appreciations noted in brief question and answers. I get the strangest feeling from the book and holding it in my hands I feel the love from within its pages… almost like feeling someone’s heartbeat. The book is full of warmth and affection from the contributors featured.

It has been put together with a lot of thought for the subject and you can’t help thinking Marilyn herself would feel very moved by this fascinating tribute.
