"Queen of the Silver Screen" Book

This item is a hardcover book titled "Queen of the Silver Screen," featuring a biographical or pictorial representation of Marilyn Monroe. The cover design is striking, depicting a stylized illustration of Marilyn Monroe in a red swimsuit or dress, positioned horizontally across a cosmic, dark blue background filled with stars. A prominent light ray or beam effect emanates from a central bright star, traversing the left side of the cover. Marilyn Monroe's signature, or a facsimile thereof, is rendered in a glowing blue script in the upper right quadrant of the cover. The title, "Queen of the Silver Screen," is written vertically along the left edge in a lighter, perhaps silver or white, font. The book appears to be in used condition, with visible wear and tear, particularly along the edges and corners of the cover. There are scuff marks and some dirt accumulation, suggesting it has been handled frequently or stored without adequate protection. The overall color scheme is dark blue, black, red, and light blue/white for text and highlights. The illustration style is somewhat graphic, with clean lines and a somewhat idealized portrayal of Monroe. Based on the subject matter and common publishing trends, this book likely falls within the late 20th or early 21st century, possibly a commemorative or biographical publication. Quality indicators suggest a mass-produced item, though the imagery is designed to be visually appealing and evoke a sense of celebrity glamour.
