Oh come on, Chris. Like we haven't see a zillion of those, and every
three-year-old child doesn't know the story. This is just one of those
sad twists of fate - not as sad as apx 3000 people at the bottom of the
rubble, but sad none the less.

Excellent book. Unless you read that some images were scanned from a
contact sheet, you'd never know. And it is cool to see the images that
were not published the first time.

From reading, the photographer's daughter is still not 100% believing
the FBI's story about the destroyed negs. The safe where they were
stored in had the lock broken off it before she got there. Maybe too
many negs with Jack, Sinatra and Monroe in Vegas?
