Our offering shows expected wear, with some creasing to covers, and a pull to the top of the spine. There is a letter 'A' written on the colour front cover. Contents show typical age-toning (they were printed on newsprint). Notwithstanding, this 'book' is in pretty good shape for its age and handling. Sidney Skolsky (1905-1983) was a Hollywood columnist and sometime movie producer ('The Jolson Story'). 'This book is an intimate biography of a girl who started out as something less than a nobody and became something more than a movie star..no journalist knows Marilyn, and the 'Monroe doctrine' by which she lives, better than the veteran, immensely knowledgeable Hollywood columist, Sidney Skolsky. Mr. Skolsky's knowledge of his subject goes away back, into the obscurity from which she came. In fact, he helped her fight her way out of that obscurity, and he has been her counselor, friend and confidante ever since.'
