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?
