Book Reviews of Jackie: A Life in Pictures
Book Review: Great book
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazon seems to have eaten my first review. So in short again:
Great book. I had the one in the same series about JFK and I loved it, so my friend gave me this one. It is great, probably even better than the one on JFK because you have more personal photos. i really liked the family pictures/by the beach/sailing, etc. Good thing also is the only text are quotations from her, so you are spared the usual raving and ranting about life, fate, marylin, etc. it allows for the pictures to speak for themselves and they ve much to say about elegance, class and love.
anyway, great great book for any photo lover (plus of course for kennedy fans). book itself is nice too.

Summary of Jackie: A Life in Pictures
From Pierre-Henri Verlhac and Yann-Brice Dherbier, the editors of the best-selling John F. Kennedy: A Life in Pictures, comes its companion, Jackie: A Life in Pictures?a visual voyage through the life of Jackie, also known as Jackie Bouvier, Jackie Kennedy, Jackie Onassis. This iconic volume features the most exquisite photographs, many of which are previously unpublished, ever taken of America?s legendary First Lady, as well as a biography, personal notes, and handwritten correspondence. A sumptuous, oversized edition, this 272-page book includes over 250 glamorous, dramatic, and intimate images taken throughout her life.Bringing us into her exclusive and privileged world, Jackie: A Life in Pictures takes us from the early days of her upper class upbringing in the 30s and 40s to her courtship and marriage to J.F.K. in 1953 and her life as a politician?s wife. From the Camelot years, when Jackie charmed the world with her classic style and effortless panache, we witness the public and private moments of the famed First Family. After J.F.K.?s tragic death, we follow Jackie as she finds consolation in the arms of Aristotle Onassis, and travel with her among the jet set. And lastly, we spend time with Jackie in her final years in New York City as a book editor, proud mother, and honorary stateswoman.
The book features Jackie?s handwritten documents, provided by her daughter, Caroline Bouvier Kennedy, and photographs by Magnum photographers Cornell Capa, Raymond Depardon, Eve Arnold, Erich Hartmann, and Philip Jones Griffith; famed paparazzo and Jackie follower Ron Galella; J.F.K. White House photographers Abbie Rowe, Robert Knudsen, and Cecil Stoughton; and Mark Shaw, Stan Kislowski, and Toni Frissell; as well as Miss Porter?s School class portraits.
The ultimate volume for Jackie?s admirers, Jackie: A Life in Pictures offers a rare opportunity to observe the complex and fascinating woman as her life unfolded before the world?s eyes.
