Elizabeth Taylor - A Life in Pictures
This book is a must for all devotees of Elizabeth Taylor as it contains many previously unseen photographs. However the book does contain fairly important typographical errors such as wrongly identifying Elizabeth Taylor's husbands! Also the fact that the photographs are not in chronological order after about 1948 makes it a hard book to just pick up and refer to a certain period in Elizabeth Taylor's life. However taking these observations into account this is a book that any fan of Elizabeth Taylor should own.

This is a great book for anyone interested in Dam Elizabeth Taylor. Although there are better books if you want information of her life this is just basically a book of beautiful fotos of her at the peak of her career, with some fotos included that have not been seen before.This is more of a personal foto album than a biography but still an excellent purchase whether you are a fan or not.
